Neymar said he was left speechless after making his first appearance for Santos since returning to the Brazilian club where he began his illustrious career.

Neymar 'is back' seems to be the verdict among fans after the Brazilian forward put in an eye-catching performance on his return to action since re-joining childhood club Santos during the winter transfer window. His side were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Botafogo in the Brazilian Paulista Championship (February 5).

The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain superstar took the field in the second half for his boyhood club Santos in its Campeonato Paulista match against Botafogo SP on Wednesday at the Estádio Vila Belmiro.
