Neymar weeps in last match with Santos

Brazilian sensation Neymar couldn't hold back the tears in his final match with Santos before joining Barcelona.

Neymar cried profusely as the Brazilian national anthem was sang before the match against Flamengo on Sunday in the Brazilian league.

He said it was "very emotional" to be bidding farewell to his team and Brazilian football.

Neymar announced his move to Barcelona late Saturday, a day after Santos said it accepted the offers from the Spanish powerhouse and rival Real Madrid and that it was up to the 21-year-old Brazilian striker to decide where he wanted to play.

He will sign a five-year contract with Barcelona on Monday, becoming the latest addition to a star-filled roster that already includes four-time Fifa Player of the Year Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta.
