During the conversation with Forminga, Neymar backed Brazil to win 3-1 and even imagined himself scoring a goal and providing an assist in the match.

After fans reacted to the prediction online, Neymar replied with a simple message: “You have to dream, right?”

Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti recently spoke about Neymar’s situation and made it clear that reputation alone will not be enough for selection. Ancelotti admitted Neymar has improved recently and praised him for getting regular minutes again at Santos, but he also stressed that only players who are fully fit and performing consistently will be selected for the World Cup.

Since returning to Santos, Neymar has shown flashes of quality, though fitness concerns continue to trouble him. 

Repeated injury setbacks over the last two seasons have made it difficult for him to stay consistent on the pitch.

A Brazil vs Spain final would be one of the biggest possible matchups at the 2026 World Cup, especially with both nations expected to compete strongly for the trophy.
