After nearly 12 years playing for two of the top teams in Europe and a brief stop in Saudi Arabia, Neymar is back playing professional football in his native Brazil. The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain superstar came on as a substitute at the start of the second half for his boyhood club Santos in its Campeonato Paulista match against Botafogo SP on Wednesday at the Estádio Vila Belmiro.

Neymar took powerful shots from the edge of the box and ran above his own expectations in 52 minutes on the pitch for Santos on Wednesday in his first game for the Brazilian club since his return last week.
