Mexico midfielder Andres Guardado taunted Neymar after Brazil’s elimination from the FIFA World Cup, in retaliation for the Paris Saint-Germain star’s comments about his team earlier in the tournament.
Brazil beat Mexico 2-0 to knock them out in the round of 16, prompting Neymar to hit out at Guardado’s side in his post-match comments, saying: “They talked too much, and now they are going home.”
