Neymar had a memorable night this Thursday, scoring twice in Santos' 2-1 victory over Vasco da Gama in the fourth round of the Brasileirão. With these two goals, the 34-year-old attacking midfielder entered the top 10 of the club's all-time leading scorers (151 goals). The celebration of his 150th goal had a special meaning, as Neymar replicated Vinícius Júnior's dance by the corner flag as a gesture of support for the Real Madrid player, who was allegedly targeted by racism from Prestianni and also by Benfica fans at the Luz. The following Wednesday, at the Bernabéu, Vini scored again against the Eagles in the second leg of the Champions League playoff, repeating the dance and helping the team secure a spot in the round of 16 (3-1 on aggregate). After the match, Neymar explained the dedication: 'The dance was for Vinícius Júnior. When he scored in Portugal, they insulted him and were racist towards him. I told him: 'score a goal and do the same celebration. And if I score a goal, I will do the same.' Vini, this is for you,' he said, smiling. After a brilliant night for @neymarjr, the number 10 talks to @Nat Guareschi about his decisive performance. 👑🔥
