Embarassing downfall really for someone who once was one of the best of his generation.

In couple of decade I can see lots of bitterness in how his career turned out to be when he left Barca and never really took elite footballer's lifestyle that seriously. Sure he has hundreds of millions to comfort him but I think most elite athletes at some point will ponder what kind of legacy they left and what kind of legacy they could have left if they had given all they could to the sport.

In 2018, only France and Belgium had better teams than Brazil.

Brazil just couldn't find their Scaloni or Deschamps. The manager is the main guy.
Tite is a great coach too. Possibly the best Brazilian coach for decade.

Brazil under Tite were always top favourite in major tournament. Neymar himself only had one great tournament (2021 Copa). Other than that he was just decent.

Crazy that Dembele achieved Neymar's dream. Move to qsg, won UCL and Bdor.

Meanwhile Neymar will get relegated with his team.

Worthy ending of Neyclown.

Agree that Tite was a great coach.

He was unlucky that Brazil didn't had great midfielders like RdP, Enzo Fernandez and MacA that would win them the WC.

It's pretty nuts how everything went down. Neymar was supposed to be the Messi heir, but in the end it was Dembele winning the Bdor. What a world we live in. Nobody could have predict that, other than the decade of dominance guy.. He knew Dembele.

They didn't have wingers on Di Maria's level? They didn't have forwards on Higuain's level?

What is Neymar supposed to do then? He had the likes of Firmino, Jesus and Willian who were excellent hardworking selfless forwards for support. It's perfectly set up for a superstar to lead the attack.

Enzo is a massive flop at Chelsea. Mac Allister was at Brighton back then and is awful this season. They aren't anywhere near World Class. I'm a Liverpool fan and Prime Fabinho was levels above Mac Allister and the best DM itw.

Brazil also had Prime Coutinho who was one of the best players around at the time. That sort of individual brilliance is massive in tournaments.

Brazil had more than enough options in 2018 and 2022.
Enzo is not a massive flop. Ridiculous to say that.
