Playgrounds are not only a place for shouts and tears, but also for heart-warming moments. FIFA’s galleries witnessed such a moment. The moment when Brazil unexpectedly conceded defeat to Croatia and had to be eliminated from the World Cup, the Brazilian player Neymar cried at that moment. A child wearing a Croatia jersey rushed to console the Brazilian superstar.
His approach to Neymar is blocked by security guards, but he is later held by Neymar. Even though he is not as tall as Neymar, he reaches out and pats Neymar on the shoulder to comfort him. The boy who ran up to Neymar was Leo, son of Croatia’s number four player Perisic. The kid who ran to cheer on his father’s opposing team while his father’s team was celebrating is now being praised on social media. Brazil admits defeat to Croatia by four goals against two. With this, Brazil was eliminated from FIFA without seeing the semi-finals.
