Neymar did not hide his emotions after making his big return in the Brazil shirt. The forward experienced an incredibly intense moment, overwhelmed with emotion after reuniting with the squad for the World Cup.

In a heartfelt statement, the player shared what he felt immediately after the match:

I went to the locker room, all by myself, and I shed a few tears. It’s a huge relief to experience all of this again. It’s a moment of gratitude. I thank God for allowing me to live this once more.

The Brazilian also emphasized the difficulty of his long absence from the national team, and how his perspective on the Seleção has changed:

I spent many days away from the Brazilian squad. I had been gone for a long time, so it’s a different team now—I see it with new eyes. But I’m very happy to be able to return, play in a World Cup, and defend Brazil after so many years.

This symbolic comeback comes at a pivotal moment for Brazil, a team counting on Neymar’s experience and talent to go far in the tournament. Neymar himself seems determined to savor every moment of this new international adventure.
