Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Santos striker Neymar has been voted the best player of the year in the Brazilian league.
The 19-year-old Neymar scored 13 goals in 21 matches to win the award late on Monday, beating Vasco da Gama defender Dede and Corinthians striker Liedson.
Neymar played sparingly because Santos was focused on the Copa Libertadores early in the year. He couldn't personally receive the award because he was traveling with Santos for FIFA's Club World Cup in Japan.
Corinthians won its fifth league title on Sunday, finishing two points ahead of Vasco.
Santos and Palmeiras both have eight national titles to be Brazil's most successful teams. Sao Paulo and Flamengo have six each.
