On farewell day from the World Cup, Neymar by Pele’s side

Neymar came to the Qatar World Cup with the mission of winning the hexa. If they win against Croatia, the semi-finals would be confirmed for Brazil. But Brazil was knocked out of the World Cup after losing in the quarter-finals. In the life-or-death match against Croatia on Friday, neither team could find the ball in the net in the first half. As a result, the game went into extra time. And at this time, Neymar put the ball in the opponent’s net to advance the team. And through this goal, he touched the legendary Brazilian footballer Pele.

Neymar scored in extra 105 minutes of the match. Brazil went ahead with Numberten’s goal. But then in the 116th minute Petkovic scored a goal to touch Brazil and Croatia. Due to a goal draw in this extra time, the game went to a penalty shootout. And this is how Croatia moves forward. Croatia secured the semi-final after defeating Neymar with 4-2 goals.

Although Neymar’s World Cup mission is over, Neymar set a personal record in this match. He touched the Brazilian legend Pele. Pele holds the record for most goals for Brazil. One of the best footballers in Brazil today touched Pele by scoring a goal against Croatia. He scored 77 goals in 92 matches and is the highest scorer. Neymar wrote his name next to Pele with the same number of goals in 124 matches.

Pele scored the 77th goal in a friendly match against Austria in 1971. After a long 51 years, in 2022, Neymar touched Pele by scoring against Croatia in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. But on a day of individual achievements, Neymar’s achievements were dwarfed by the team’s exit from the World Cup. Neymar’s World Cup ended in tears.

Meanwhile, Pele has been sick for a long time in the hospital. This legend is suffering from lung cancer. Due to his illness, his family suffered from various media reports. Sometimes many people spread rumors of Pele’s death. However, Pele is enjoying the Brazil game from the hospital. Although Neymar touched him, the football legend has not yet given any reaction in this regard.
