Brazilian superstar Neymar made an emotional return to international football after a 981-day absence, breaking down in tears following Brazil’s 3-0 victory over Scotland in their final FIFA World Cup 2026 Group C match in Miami. The 34-year-old forward, sidelined since October 2023 due to multiple knee surgeries and a recent calf injury, entered as a substitute in the 76th minute. Ahead of the game, coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed Neymar was fit and available. Brazil secured qualification for the Round of 32 with goals from Vinícius Júnior (two) and Matheus Cunha. The five-time champions topped Group C on goal difference, ahead of Morocco, with seven points. (PC: X)
