Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Real Fight Between Santos Players Neymar And Robinho Júnior

The video's timestamp showed a specific date: November 20, 2024. However, news of Neymar rejoining Santos after a 12-year gap broke only on January 28, 2025, as reported by the AP (archived here).

Despite the implication that the viral clip was a real CCTV recording, the timestamp in the top left corner remains the same for the duration of the video:
