Paris Saint Germain (PSG) superstar Neymar decided to cut short his interview when a reporter opted to give a special mention to his teammate and French forward Kylian Mbappe on Friday. Regaining his top form at PSG in the 2022-2023 season, former Barcelona star Neymar will spearhead Brazil's attack at the FIFA World Cup 2022 which is scheduled to take place in Qatar from 20 November.
Gearing up for the upcoming edition of the FIFA World Cup, Brazil squared off against Ghana in a friendly match at Le Havre's Stade Océane. Richarlison fired two crucial goals for the five-time world champions as Neymar-starrer Brazil outclassed Ghana 3-0 in the friendly encounter.
