Brazil star Neymar says he was “psychologically destroyed” by Brazil’s elimination from the World Cup in a penalty shootout defeat to Croatia.
According to the Paris Saint-Germain ace, the defeat hurts more than any other loss in his career.
The 30-year-old scored from a dazzling solo effort to equal Pele’s record goalscoring haul of 77 goals for the Selecao in Friday’s match that ended with a draw after extra time.
The Brazilian player noted in an Instagram post that the defeat is the most hurtful in his career and will hurt for a very long time.
