Neymar has questioned his international future after Brazil's shock quarter-final exit in Qatar
Neymar told reporters: 'Honestly, I do not know. I think talking now is bad because of the heat of the moment. Maybe I'm not thinking straight.
'To say that this is the end would be rushing myself, but I don't guarantee anything either. Let's see what happens going forward.
'I want to take this time to think about it, think about what I want for myself. I will not close the door to playing with Brazil, nor do I say 100% that I'll come back.'

Neymar scored the opening goal in extra time, but Brazil were pegged back in the 116th minute
After a goalless 90 minutes, Neymar struck Brazil ahead in extra time, only for Bruno Petkovic to equalise for Croatia in the 116th minute.
In the penalty shootout, Brazil missed twice, first through Rodrygo, and then Marquinhos hit the post with a spot-kick he had to score to keep the 2019 Copa American champions in contention.
Tite later confirmed that Neymar was set to take Brazil's fifth penalty, but they were already out as Croatia were faultless from 12 yards out.
