After much uncertainty, Neymar finally earned a place in Brazil's World Cup squad. However, the attacking star only made two appearances, as his team lost 2-1 to Norway in the round of 16.

It was his last appearance in the Brazilian national team jersey.

I made history, I was very happy, I gave my blood, my life, I have always fought, but now I don't want to anymore, he says, according to O Globo.

In total, Neymar made 130 international appearances, scoring 80 goals - the most ever in Brazilian national team history.

At club level, the former Barcelona and Paris SG player now represents Santos.
