      <title>Neymar hints at Brazil retirement after World Cup exit</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330462433/neymar-hints-at-brazil-retirement-after-world-cup-exit</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Neymar suggested he may have played his final match for &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/world-cup/brazil"&gt;Brazil&lt;/a&gt; ​after scoring in their &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/ancelotti-gamble-leaves-brazil-mired-world-cup-quicksand-2026-07-05/"&gt;defeat by Norway&lt;/a&gt; in ‌the &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/sports/world-cup/"&gt;World Cup&lt;/a&gt; round of 16 on Sunday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The forward converted a stoppage-time penalty in Brazil’s 2-1 loss, a result that eliminated ​the five-time champions and extended their wait for ​a sixth World Cup title.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking briefly after ⁠the match to Bruno Formiga, a pundit for Brazilian ​channel GE TV, Neymar indicated that his tenure with ​Brazil had come to an end.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I tried, I tried … Now it’s over! I started here, I finished here,” Neymar said, ​referring to the stadium in New Jersey, where ​he made his Brazil debut in a friendly against the United ‌States in 2010.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 34-year-old was moved to tears after the match.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was the national team’s worst World Cup performance since 1990.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brazil are now heading towards their ​longest spell without ​a World ⁠Cup title since they first won the tournament.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By 2030, they will have ​gone 28 years without lifting the trophy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If ​Neymar ⁠confirms his international retirement, he will end his Brazil career with 80 goals and 58 assists in 130 ⁠appearances.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Neymar ​has won multiple titles at ​club level, but his only senior trophy with Brazil was the 2013 ​Confederations Cup.&lt;/p&gt;
