What did Neymar tell Norway's Goalkeeper After His Penalty?

Neymar's penalty was not enough to save Brazil from a heartbreaking World Cup exit, but his post-goal exchange with Norway goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland has become one of the match's biggest talking points. A Brazilian television channel has now revealed what was said between the two players.

According to the report, Neymar tried to play mind games before taking his stoppage-time penalty by asking Nyland, "Which way should I take it? Which side do you want?"

Unfazed, the Norwegian goalkeeper replied, "Hit the post, hit the post."

After calmly converting the penalty, Neymar walked over to Nyland and responded, "That doesn't work with me. Not with me. Fool!"

Earlier in the match, Brazil had squandered a golden opportunity to take the lead when Bruno Guimarães saw his penalty brilliantly saved by Nyland. The Norwegian keeper guessed correctly and denied the Newcastle midfielder despite his slow run-up.

Norway capitalised on Brazil's missed chances, with Erling Haaland scoring twice in the 79th and 90th minutes to put the Scandinavian side firmly in control.

Neymar pulled one back from the spot deep into stoppage time, but it proved only a consolation as Brazil crashed out of the World Cup after a 2-1 defeat in the round of 16.
