Barcelona forward Raphinha video-called Neymar to celebrate his inclusion in Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad for World Cup 2026 after the announcement was made.
The question of whether Neymar would get the call up has been debated for weeks and months but it’s been confirmed he’s part of the squad for this summer’s tournament.
Neymar has now uploaded a video showing his delight at getting the nod and the conversation he had with Raphinha after the annoucement.
“Thank you Raphinha for everything, from the bottom of my heart, you know the affection I have for you. It’s all gonna be fine, we are gonna WIN this damn thing,” he said.
Neymar’s inclusion wasn’t the only surprise as Barcelona target Joao Pedro was overlooked despite a strong season in the Premier League with Chelsea.
Brazil are due to face Morocco, Haiti and Scotland in the group phase of the tournament but how far do you think they can go? Share your thoughts and predictions in the comments below!
