"Did they win the World Cup or what?" Neymar wrote via Instagram in the comment section of a fan account.
After Argentina beat Italy in the Finalissima, their players sang a song with the following translation.
🎼 "What happened, brasuca? Are you still waiting
What happened, brasuca? In the favela they're all crying
The years go by, you remember the 50's Cup
They're all s**t, they're afraid it will happen again
Because Messi has the crown
And the left leg with the magic that enchants
To make it worse, remember Maradona
I know it hurts you, that it hurts you, but this Cup belongs to Argentina."
Seems like Neymar considered this chant too provokative!
The Finalissima is an official match between the Euro winners and the Copa America holders. Of course, it's not as big as the World Cup final, yet it is a historic occasion the winner can boast about.
As a reminder, Argentina beat Brazil in the 2021 Copa America final to qualify for the Finalissima.
