Neymar returned to the field in the match against Scotland

Brazilian national team's famous attacker Neymar returned to the field after a long break, Zamin.uz reported.

Neymar, who came on as a substitute in the match against Scotland, spoke not only about his performance but also about his relationship with his childhood friend Lionel Messi. Entering the field from the bench in the 66th minute of the match held at the stadium in Marseille, Neymar was greeted with cheers from the fans.

Brazil won the match 3-0. Recall that Neymar suffered a serious ankle injury in the match against Uruguay three years ago.

After the game, Neymar shared warm thoughts about Lionel Messi. Despite the rivalry between Brazil and Argentina, he emphasized that the relationship between the two footballers remains strong.

Neymar confirmed that he stays in constant contact with Messi, praised Messi’s human qualities as worthy of respect, and called him an amazing person in life.

He also expressed his gratitude to the people of Argentina. Neymar’s debut at the 2026 World Cup was slightly delayed.

Initially, he needed time to recover from the ankle injury. However, with the help of the medical staff, he managed to secure a victory over Scotland and complete his historic return.

For Neymar, who is considered one of the best goal-scorers in the history of the Brazilian national team, this tournament holds great significance. His return to the squad will provide additional motivation for the team.
