Neymar ended his Brazil chapter as World Cup dream comes to a heartbreaking close for the South American nation after the knock out match.

The 34-year-old announced his retirement from international soccer after the knock out match against Norway.

Brazil lost to Norway on July 5 in a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat led by Erling Haaland.

The Brazilian star was overcome with emotion after the final whistle as he was seen in tears.

Neymar spoke to Globo after the match and said, “I tried. I tried. Now, it's over.”

Former players, Zlatan Ibrahimović and Thierry Henry, spoke about Neymar’s remarkable career while speaking on Fox News praising him as “an outstanding player”.

During the match, Neymar scored on a penalty in the second half when he subbed in but it was just not enough to beat the European nation.

Neymar leaves the national team as Brazil's all-time leading scorer with 80 international goals just ahead of legendary Pele.

Meanwhile, the upsetting loss brought an end to a glittering career following his country's earliest World Cup exit since 1990.
