Brazil’s star player Neymar broke down in tears on the field after losing to Croatia in the quarter-finals of the World Cup football series. Seeing this, Ivan Perisic’s son from the Croatia team came into the field and calmed Neymar down. It made everyone melt.

Last night, Brazil and Croatia clashed in the quarter-final match of the Qatar World Cup football series. An extra 30 minutes were awarded as neither team scored in the allotted 90 minutes. In the 105th minute, Neymar brilliantly crossed the opponent’s defenders and scored a goal. This gave Brazil a 1-0 lead. With only 3 minutes left in the match, Croatia put the first hurdle to Brazil’s dream.

Croatia’s Bruno Petkovic scored a goal in the 117th minute to tie the game 1-1. After this, as no further goals were scored by either team in the remaining minutes, a penalty shootout was held to decide the victory. Croatia won the match 4-2. Rodrigo’s shot from Brazil’s first chance in the penalty shootout was brilliantly saved by Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic.

After this, Neymar’s dream of winning the title for the 6th time for the Brazilian team was crushed when the shot scored by Marquinhos on the 4th chance of the Brazilian team went off the goal post. Disheartened by this, Neymar burst into tears on the field. Neymar was praised by his teammates. However, his tears did not stop. Then Croatia’s star player Ivan Perisic’s son ran into the field and calmed Neymar down. After that, Neymar tied him up and sent him on his way and left the stadium in tears.

In the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Brazil also lost to Belgium at the same stage. Before that, in 2014, they beat Germany 7-1 in the semi-finals. Neymar did not play in that game due to injury.

Now, despite Neymar’s brilliant first goal against Croatia, victory was elusive. Neymar equaled the legendary Pele’s record of 77 goals, but Brazil’s defeat did not matter.

“It’s a terrible feeling, I think it’s worse than the last World Cups,” Neymar said after the defeat. It’s hard to find words to describe this moment. We fought. I am proud of my teammates.

I am not closing the door on playing for the national team again. While there is no 100 percent guarantee that he will return to the team. I have to think about what is right for me and the national team,” he said.
