MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Brazil forward Neymar said on Saturday that his team's elimination from the FIFA World Cup after they lost 2-1 to Belgium in the quarter-finals in Kazan on Friday was "the saddest moment" of his career.

“I can say that it is the saddest moment of my career, the pain is very great because we knew we could get there, we knew we had the opportunity to go further, to make history.. but not this time. Difficult to find the strength to want to play football again, but I'm sure God will give me enough strength to face anything… Very happy to be part of this team, I am proud of all, our dream did not come true but it has not left our heads neither our hearts,” Neymar said via his official Instagram account.
