The 2026 World Cup left one of its most powerful images: Neymar Jr. crying on the pitch after Brazil’s elimination against Norway.


At 34 years old, the historic forward came off the bench, scored a penalty in the final minutes, and then confirmed that it was his last match with the national team. An unexpected, painful farewell loaded with symbolism for a generation that grew up watching him as the great figure of the “Canarinha”.


Was it time to say goodbye?
