Neymar landed in Saudi Arabia on Friday night (18) and several factors of his arrival have already caught the attention of the public. Some moments were even controversial. The player arrived accompanied by his partner, Bruna Biancardi, to introduce himself to Al-Hilal, his new club.

On video, still at the airport, it can be seen that the Brazilian star wears an all-white outfit, but with the blue scarf in the club's characteristic color. Attached to his neck is a crucifix, representing the attacker's faith in Christianity. This small symbolism raised great controversy, as Saudi Arabia is a categorically Islamic country.


The Saudi media, when releasing images of the star on his arrival, insisted on covering the image of the cross with figures. As represented in the image on the side, they chose not to leave room for the propagation of the Christian faith.

Bruna, as a sign of respect for Saudi customs, arrived at the airport with most of her body covered, especially her shoulders and upper arms. In a video released on social media, you can quickly see her covering herself with a scarf next to the groom.
