With a knee injury and expected to return to the pitch only next season, Neymar was one of the guests at Romário’s birthday celebrations, who turns 58 this Monday, the 29th. The striker from Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia Saudi, participated in the celebrations, in Barra da Tijuca, in Rio, and made headlines in foreign newspapers due to his appearance, while away from activities.
Internet users on social media had already pointed out, in videos and photos of the attacker at Romário’s party, that the player was overweight, far from his ideal physical condition and had a different appearance. Al-Hilal’s number 10 arrived at his birthday wearing a coat, shirt and baggy pants, which may have given the impression of the image, which was criticized on networks such as X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
“Shock on social media with Neymar’s physical condition: judge for yourself”, wrote As, based on the repercussion of the attacker’s figure on the internet. Some images, shared on X, were edited, making it appear that Neymar was even further away from his physical form. He has not played for Al-Hilal since October, in the victory over Nassaji Mazandaran, in the Asian Champions League. However, he shares the progress of his treatment on his social networks. From the beginning, everyone knew he would be inactive for a long time.

Neymar arrived at the party surrounded by security guards, walking normally. He posed for photos alongside Romário. In a video, it is possible to see a moment in which Romário is on stage and thanks the player for his presence on the microphone. “Neymar is there, son of a… brother, thank you for your presence. It’s a great pleasure to have you here”, said Shorty. The Al-Hilal player also took the stage at another time. He stayed with the singer Belo, who was performing at the party. Afterwards, there was a microphone left for Neymar to sing alongside the singer.
Neymar did not position himself in the net. He has a two-year contract with Al-Hila, owned by coach Jorge Jesus, and should return to serve the Brazilian team in the World Cup qualifiers in September. Brazil occupies sixth place.
