Brazilian striker Neymar Jr has reacted to his father's recent comments about his potential return to the national team after announcing his retirement last month. Despite his emotional exit following Brazil's elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he scored a late penalty against Norway, Neymar's father suggested that a comeback might still be possible. Neymar, however, firmly dismissed this notion, stating, 'It’s not my dad playing!' The 34-year-old concludes his international career as Brazil's all-time leading scorer with 80 goals, and he is only the second player in history to score in four different World Cups. His recent performances included a brief appearance in a group stage victory over Scotland and a more significant role in the loss to Norway, where he contributed a consolation goal. Neymar's legacy with the Selecao remains significant, but his retirement appears to be final, despite his father's hopes for a return.
