Brazil were sent packing from the World Cup on Friday.

Brazil were favourites to beat Croatia in the Quarter-final clash, but ended up losing the tie 4-2 on penalties.

Real Madrid star Rodrygo took the first of the penalties for Brazil, and he missed his kick.

In what was a high-pressured environment, it was a surprise that Rodrygo would take the first kick.

Brazil star Neymar, has now thrown his weight of support behind Rodrygo, despite his penalty miss.

Neymar said via Goal Brasil: “Rodrygo assumed the responsibility, he wanted to take the penalty, he is a great player.

“He is not alone. We are all with him.”
