Neymar has declared his retirement from Brazil's national team after their 2-1 defeat to Norway in the World Cup's round of 16. "I tried," Neymar reflected after Sunday's match, adding, "It started here, at MetLife Stadium, and I finished here. It is now over."
At 34, Neymar leaves a remarkable legacy, having debuted for Brazil on August 10, 2010, in a friendly against the United States at East Rutherford's MetLife Stadium. As Brazil's all-time top scorer, he surpassed even the legendary Pele by scoring his first international goal ahead of the global icon.
In his final appearance against Norway, Neymar scored a penalty in the closing minutes after coming on as a substitute, later collapsing in tears as the final whistle blew, comforted by his teammates.
