Neymar was furious with his teammates for focusing on attacking with only five minutes to go after he had given Brazil the lead against Croatia.

The Paris Saint Germain superstar gave his side the lead in the 106th minute, but with the game meandering towards the end, Croatia found an equalizer through substitute Bruno Petkovic.

It thus had to be decided by a penalty shootout which Brazil eventually fell short of as Rodrygo and Marquinhos missed their spot kicks.

The World Cup exit was particularly heartbreaking for Neymar, who sees another shot at winning the World Cup slip away.

“Why are you attacking”

Moments after Croatia found the equalizer, Neymar was seen reprimanding his teammates on why they insisted on going forward when all they needed to do was see out the game with some resolute defending.

The video, shared by Brazilian reporter Marcio Spimpolo, appeared to show Neymar asking his teammates why they were attacking with a 1-0 lead with five minutes to go.

Interestingly, Neymar did not get the chance to take a penalty in the shootout as Brazil missed two of their opening four kicks.

Moments after the defeat, it was also confirmed that coach Tite stepped down from his role in the Brazilian dugout.
