Neymar Jr has once again confirmed his retirement from international football, bringing the curtain down on a glittering career with Brazil. The country's all-time leading goalscorer announced his decision after Brazil's World Cup campaign ended with a heartbreaking defeat to Norway. Neymar entered the tournament carrying an injury and spent most of the competition on the sidelines. By the time he regained full fitness, Brazil had settled on a combination that left him out of the starting XI. The 34-year-old came off the bench in the knockout clash and converted a late penalty, but his goal proved only a consolation as Brazil crashed out. An emotional Neymar was seen in tears after the final whistle before confirming that he had played his last match for the national team, ending one of the most celebrated international careers in Brazilian football history.Neymar's time with the Brazil team is over.

Rejecting the allegations, the Santos captain accused sections of the media of fabricating the story to create unnecessary controversy and insisted his post-match remarks were taken completely out of context."It’s sad and annoying, but it’s not my fault. These stories reach a lot of people," Neymar added. "I spoke after the match, demanded better, and said we couldn't afford to be so slack. You can't go giving away a draw like that, with all due respect to Chapecoense. That's all I said. I said we’d get our rematch against them next year, if you know what I mean. As captain, I’ve got every right to say that. Lucas Veríssimo and Gabigol spoke up too," he added.
