There’s no denying Neymar is one of the biggest “ifs” in football’s history. His talent at a young age was unlike anything we’ve seen before.

The 2022 World Cup is now over, and what a spectacle it turned out to be.

Brazil qualified for the 2018 World Cup at a canter as they became the first side to book their place in Russia back in March 2017.
