It was also sweet revenge for the hosts following Germany’s 7-1 World Cup semifinal hammering two years ago that cost Brazilian football its pride.
Sppeaking with journalists after the match, Neymar said..
“This is one of the best things that has happened in my life,” said Neymar, before surprisingly stepping down as captain of the national side.
“It was an honour to be captain, but from today I am no longer captain,” he told SporTV.
