The allegation of breaking the trust of a possible lover had arisen. Neymar admitted his mistake and sought forgiveness by posting an open letter on Instagram. After reading that letter, football fans can definitely understand a reaction.

Neymar is one of the most popular stars among football players. Accusations of getting involved with someone else against the belief of his lover will naturally tarnish Neymar's popularity. And that's exactly what happened. Within a day of admitting his mistake, Neymar lost 210,000 followers on Instagram.

The social media analytics firm "Crowdtangle" revealed that Neymar gained a lot of support from many other football stars after posting that letter. However, the number of followers lost was quite significant. According to the firm, more than 780,000 followers unfollowed Neymar. Prior to posting the letter, Neymar had nearly 21.2 million followers on Instagram. By now, the number of followers has decreased to approximately 21.1 million.

Today, it can be seen from Neymar's Instagram account that the number of followers has decreased even further. His follower count is now 21 million. That means within a day, 210,000 followers have been lost for the Brazilian star of PSG. It is highly likely that the number will decrease even more in the future. Among footballers, Cristiano Ronaldo has the highest number of followers on Instagram, with 590 million. Lionel Messi follows closely with 470 million followers.

The post seeking forgiveness for Neymar's admitted mistake received more than 121 million likes. There were 186 comments. Many football stars expressed their support for Neymar in that post. The Brazilian media outlet "O Tempo" reported that the post in which Neymar asked for forgiveness from his possible lover, Bruna Biancardi, received the highest number of likes among all his posts.

Brazilian journalist Erlan Bastos revealed some gossip about Neymar last Tuesday. It seems that Neymar is in a romantic relationship with digital platform influencer Fernando Campos. Bastos further claims that Neymar has an agreement regarding his relationship with Bruna. However, Bruna Biancardi rejected these claims and threatened legal action against Bastos.

After that, Neymar posted the controversial open letter on Instagram. In the letter, he admitted, "Bruna, I'm doing this for you (Bruna Biancardi) and our (possible) child. I'm trying to turn an impossible situation into something reasonable. It wasn't necessary to do this. But you are essential to my life. I know how much you suffer in these situations and how much you want to be by my side. I am also by your side. I made a mistake. I didn't do the right thing with you."

"In all these debates, Neymar does not seek direct forgiveness from Bruna, understanding that their own image is being destroyed. Neymar says to Bruna, 'Bruna, I have already asked for forgiveness for my own mistakes. For the unnecessary commotion that is going on. But I accept it openly in front of everyone that when a personal matter comes to the forefront, forgiveness should be sought in front of everyone. Without you, I cannot think of myself.'"

"Neymar's father, Neymar Santos Senior, commented on his son's post. His comment is philosophical, 'That's... what we always learn from life. Congratulations (love).'"

It was known in April that Neymar's girlfriend, Bruna Biancardi, is pregnant with Neymar's child. Bruna had confirmed the news by sharing a photo of their "baby bump" with Neymar on social media. According to various news sources, Neymar and Bruna's relationship started in 2021. In January of the following year, Neymar officially expressed their love on Instagram.

Although they had a breakup once in August, they reconciled later due to the strength of their love. The Spanish media outlet 'Marca' reported that Neymar and Bruna started a new relationship at the beginning of this year.
