Neymar, after overcoming a series of muscle injuries, had a tense exchange with a fan after one of his goals was disallowed. This situation condemned Santos to a 2-1 defeat against Internacional, which leaves them in the relegation zone of the Brazilian Serie A.
The 33-year-old player, who has had a complicated return to his home club, approached the stands at the end of the match to speak with a fan who seemed to be berating him.
The videos show Neymar visibly upset, gesturing and then giving a thumbs up while a teammate pulls him away.
The Santos were trying to come back from a two-goal deficit, with Álvaro Martín Barreal scoring a minute after added time. Three minutes later, Neymar thought he had scored with a left-footed shot and celebrated in front of the home fans.
However, boos echoed in the Vila Belmiro stadium when the referee determined that the ball had not crossed the goal line.
Santos is in 17th position out of 20 clubs in the league, where the last four teams are relegated to Serie B at the end of the season.
The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain player has had a difficult return, including injuries, a handball expulsion, and having contracted COVID-19.
