Neymar’s return with the Brazil national team is causing huge buzz on social media… to the point that a completely fake video went viral within just a few hours.
Neymar chased all the way into the bathroom by fans? Things are getting completely out of control. Since Carlo Ancelotti announced his call-up for the 2026 World Cup, Neymar has become the center of attention in Brazil. After nearly two years away from the Seleção following his serious knee injury, the former Paris Saint-Germain star is already seen as one of the major symbols of Brazil’s comeback.
AI Video Sparks Massive Confusion Around Neymar
But a strange video quickly started circulating on X, TikTok, and Instagram. The footage supposedly showed Neymar being followed into a restroom by supporters, filmed while sitting inside a bathroom stall. The shocking sequence instantly triggered thousands of reactions online.
Except… the entire thing was fake. The video was generated using artificial intelligence. Despite looking extremely realistic, the footage does not show any real event involving Neymar. Several internet users quickly spotted visual inconsistencies and typical details often found in AI-generated videos that have become increasingly common on social media in recent months.

The story mainly highlights how difficult AI-generated content is becoming to identify, especially when it involves global superstars like Neymar. The Santos FC player has not publicly reacted to the fake video so far.
