This is Neymar Jnr, arguably the third best player of this generation, being emotional after getting a World Cup call up. Even his place wasnât guaranteed and you can tell the excitement after the official announcement.
Now look at it this way, imagine a 19 year old kid being given the legendary number 10 shirt from a legendary country like France, then goes on to start every game through to the final. Not only that, he scores two goals against an Argentina team led by Messi and Aguero to knock them out in the round of 16.
He didnât end there, he also scored the winning goal in the final against Croatia and became the only teenager after Pele to score in a World Cup final.
Now thatâs not the craziest thing, in 2022 he led France to another unforgettable route to the final also bagging a hat trick within 37 minutes against eventual winners Argentina scoring 8 goals in 7 games, becoming the second player alongside Ronaldo Nazario to score 8 goals in a single World Cup tournament in the 21st century.
Also get this in mind, heâs only the second player in the history of the tournament to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final Final since Geoff Hurst in 1966. Yes you heard it right, 60 years.
You know how crazy that sounds right. Mind you this is the biggest competition in the history of this sport.
