- Neymar suggested he may have played his final match for Brazil after their 2-1 defeat by Norway in the World Cup round of 16.
- He scored a stoppage-time penalty, but it was insufficient to prevent Brazil’s elimination and extend their wait for a sixth World Cup title.
- The 34-year-old indicated his international career was over, stating, ‘I tried, I tried … Now it’s over! I started here, I finished here.’
- This result marks Brazil’s worst World Cup performance since 1990, potentially leading to their longest spell without a title by 2030.
- If he confirms his retirement, Neymar will conclude his Brazil career with 80 goals and 58 assists in 130 appearances, with the 2013 Confederations Cup as his only senior trophy.
