“Honestly, I do not know. I think talking now is bad because of the heat of the moment. Maybe I’m not thinking straight,” Neymar stated to reporters following the defeat.

Although the Brazilian winger admitted that his emotions may be getting the best of him, he also acknowledged the reality that he couldn’t guarantee a return to the international stage either.

Neymar’s goal in extra time against Croatia was his 77th in a Brazil shirt, seeing him go level with Pele as Brazil’s all-time leading men’s scorer.

Unfortunately for the Brazilians, their celebrations were premature as Croatia equalized through Bruno Petkovic just three minutes before the end of extra time.

While Croatia managed to convert all of their spot kicks, Rodrygo’s penalty was saved by Dominik Livakovic while Marquinhos hit the post.

Neymar was unable to partake in the penalty shootout as the contest was decided after four penalties per side, whereas Neymar was the fifth penalty taker for Brazil. According to Brazil coach Tite, the fifth spot kick needs to be taken by someone with the most quality and strongest mentality, hence why Neymar was designated.

A central figure in Brazil’s attacking lineup, Neymar was subjected to nine fouls throughout the game. It was after a hard tackle by Nikola Milenkovic that Neymar’s evening came to an end, with the PSG striker being replaced by Manchester United winger Antony in the 80th minute of play. Upon his arrival at the bench, Neymar was treated with ice packs by team trainers.

“Neymar has an injury on his right ankle, a direct trauma,” Brazil team director Rodrigo Lasmar confirmed to the press following his nation’s victory. “He continues with the physio, but now need to wait 24 to 48 hours for a better assessment. There is no MRI scan scheduled, but tomorrow we will make a new assessment. We need to wait and cannot make any premature comments.

Lasmar also revealed that Neymar was already injured for 11 minutes prior to Milenkovic’s rough challenge. Instead of being substituted, Neymar opted to play through the pain in order to seek the win for his team.

Neymar and PSG have been in negotiations for several weeks now and they quickly came to the overall terms of the deal. They are currently working on the finer details and the official confirmation is expected in coming days.

Neymar recently hinted at this development during his appearance on French network TF1 over the weekend.

“I am happy today. I am truly happy,” said Neymar. “Things have changed a lot. I can’t exactly explain why. But today, I am feeling good. I have adapted. I am calmer and I am happier. I want to stay at PSG.”

Neymar has been linked with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain for the better part of the past two years. It seemed that the player was unhappy in France, and a return to Barcelona was looking like a done deal at one point. Media also reported about his clash with the club’s brass, most notably sporting director Leonardo.

However, things changed in recent months, as Neymar and Leonardo improved their relationship. Also, Barca has had financial difficulties due to coronavirus, which made it difficult for them to pull off a deal.

Neymar has played 16 games in all competitions with PSG, scoring 13 goals and adding five assists.

Barca tried to bring back Neymar this summer, but their offers fell short. Paris Saint-Germain was reportedly only interested in money, while the Spanish powerhouse was trying to get them to accept player exchange + cash offer.

Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona sees Neymar as a successor for Lionel Messi, and want the 27-year-old to be their cornerstone in years to come. However, the media outlet adds that the club will make a definitive decision after seeing how the player will perform with PSG in the second part of the season.

Neymar joined PSG in 2017 from Barca in a transfer worth $247 million. Since then, he made 70 appearances for the club and scored 60 goals, while winning two Ligue 1 trophies. Despite this success, the player is reportedly unhappy in France and would welcome a change of scenery.

The star forward hobbled off of the pitch in Brasilia after coming up lame. He suffered the injury after being tackled by a Qatar defender. The 27-year-old was unable to put any weight on his right ankle, suggesting that the injury could be serious.

Finally, Neymar left the field in tears, causing Brazil fans to fear the worst.

Those fears were confirmed shortly after the match. Brazil’s biggest star will be unable to participate in the national team’s matches in the Copa America, leaving them in a difficult position.

Neymar will have to be replaced by another attacker in the national team’s roster. Some have suggested that young Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior could be his replacement for the tournament.

Neither Brazil nor Neymar has offered any information about just how long this ankle injury will keep him off of the pitch. In any case, Paris Saint-Germain will have its fingers crossed that their biggest star won’t miss too much of the upcoming season.

Brazil kicks off their Copa America run next Friday against Bolivia.

“Yes, I will stay in Paris. I have a contract with PSG. The speculation? The majority of it is invented by the press,” – said Neymar. “I have a contract and people know the objective, the reason why I went to PSG. I want to win with this club and I hope this season will be wonderful.”

Neymar joined PSG from Barcelona in the summer of 2017 for a record fee of $260 million. Halfway through the last season, the speculations started circling that Neymar is displeased in Paris and wants to return to Spain. Real Madrid was identified as his next destination, considering the fact that the club’s president Florentino Perez is a big admirer of the Brazilian. These rumors only grew larger over time, and Real even had to issue a statement that they are not interested in making the move for the player.

Neymar is currently on vacation, after having an underwhelming campaign with Brazil at the 2018 World Cup. Commenting on the early elimination of his country, Neymar said that it was the biggest disappointment of his career and that he was very sad about that.

“We take positive things from the World Cup. Of course, the sadness is much greater because we knew we had the team and quality players [to win]. But for things that happen in football, we could not,” – he added.
