Neymar went to Romario's 58th birthday party, where some attendees captured him in videos that went viral on social media because the Brazilian looks overweight. In some of the footage, you can see that he has put on some weight, although, in one of the images shared by the hired singer, Jorginho Faria, it doesn't look like it's that much.

Neymar only had time to play five games for Al Hilal before rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament, an injury that has kept him out of action since 18th October, when he suffered the injury in the Uruguay-Brazil South American qualifier. He has not stopped appearing in the media, which paid close attention to the fact that he did not miss the cruise he organised a few weeks ago or his presence at Romario's 58th birthday this weekend.

It is this last event that has gone viral on social media in the last few hours because there are videos in which the former PSG player looks overweight. While it is true that the footage in which it is possible to glimpse a decline in his appearance comes from profiles that have not directly pointed to his weight, suggesting that they did not share the content thinking that he looked worse or after editing it, there are other posts that are clear 'fakes'.
