In his Netflix documentary, Neymar spoke about the final with Argentina and made it clear how they beat him: "The 2021 Copa América final was one of the best games of my career and one of the ones in which I suffered the most fouls. But they ended winning, it worked," confessed the Brazilian player, apparently he had this annoyance saved and just decided to talk about it.

To tell the truth, Neymar is right, in that match they were in charge of dealing him blows from all sides. Di María scored the only goal of the match and made Lionel Messi lift the most important trophy with his team up to that point. At the end of the match the image that remained marked is that of Neymar next to Messi without a shirt, talking about what happened in the final.

One of the players who hit Neymar the hardest was Rodrigo De Paul, even the Argentine himself confessed that 'Ney' was a phenomenon and that it was almost impossible for him to stop him: “In the second half, in a play I told him: 'The The truth, crazy, is that you are a phenomenon. Not only because of how you play, but also mentally, no one throws you off your axis,'” De Paul commented for Telemundo.

It was evident that in the middle of the field Neymar won the duel against Rodrigo De Paul, and the Atlético de Madrid midfielder recognized that he lost that battle: “I lost that fight. I told him that he is a phenomenon, then we hugged and I couldn't do anything else. Ney in that final was a spectacle.” “He was the rival that cost me the most, he is an animal,” De Paul highlighted for the same medium.

When does Neymar return to the Brazil National Team?

Everything indicates that by the October FIFA date, Neymar will be able to play again with the Brazil National Team. There is no doubt that he is one of the players that the 'canarinha' needs the most, especially due to the bad moment they are currently experiencing. In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers they lost their last match against Paraguay, but the worst of all is that they don't play well. This is one of the reasons for Dorival to say, "Neymar has his place guaranteed in the national team."
