Neymar Retires from International Football After World Cup Exit

Neymar has officially retired from international football after Brazil's disappointing exit from the World Cup, where they lost 2-1 to Norway in the Round of 16. The match took place at MetLife Stadium, where Neymar, who came on as a late substitute, scored a penalty deep into injury time, which served only as a consolation.

This defeat marked a significant moment in Neymar's career, as he is Brazil's all-time top scorer. His international career began with a notable performance in 2010 against the United States, where he scored in a 2-0 victory.

At 34 years old, Neymar faced challenges due to injuries in recent years. He was surprisingly included in Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil squad for the World Cup, despite injuries preventing him from featuring in Brazil's first two group games, which included a 3-0 win over Scotland.

Neymar's emotional response after the match included a tearful exchange with journalists.
