The great news Neymar received and prevented him from playing for Al-Hilal

This Saturday Al-Hilal got an important 3-0 win against Al-Okhdood Club thanks to goals from Michael, 10 minutes into the first half, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, twice, near the end of the match. With this result, they regained the lead in the Pro League standings with 23 points, after Al-Taawon took it away from them on Thursday after beating Al Ta'ee.

Al-Hilal's victory is even more valuable considering they were without their main star player, Neymar Junior. The Brazilian forward was absent in the match and could not help his team. However, this time the reason was not injuries or conflicts, but good news.

Ney received permission from the club to fly quickly to Brazil before the match to attend the birth of his first daughter with his current girlfriend, model Bruna Biancardi. Mavie was the name the couple chose for the baby, whose birth they announced on social media with a message from the Brazilian player that read: "Our Mavie arrived to complete our lives. Welcome, daughter! You are already very loved by us. Thank you for choosing us." As Bruna explained, the girl's name means "my life" (ma vie in French).

Mavie is Neymar's second child, who already has a 12-year-old son named Davi Lucca, from his previous relationship with Carolina Dantas.

He will stay there

Neymar will not immediately return to Saudi Arabia to join Al-Hilal, but will stay in South America for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. On Thursday, October 12, the Brazil National Team will play at the Arena Pantanal stadium in the city of Cuiabá against Venezuela. And five days later they will have a very difficult match against Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay at the Centenario stadium in Montevideo.
