Brazil secured a dominant 3-0 win over Scotland on Wednesday night in a match that marked the return of Neymar. The 34-year-old forward entered the game as a substitute, ending a long absence from international competition. This appearance marks his first time playing for the national team since October 2023.

His return comes during the 2026 World Cup, providing a boost to the Brazilian squad. After the match, Neymar posted a message that echoed the mindset of Lewis Hamilton. He wrote, "REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE," referencing the mantra Hamilton used after his recent victory in Barcelona.

This mental shift mirrors Hamilton's experience after securing his first win for Ferrari. Neymar is now reintegrating into the squad after nearly two years away from the pitch. Brazil's clinical victory over Scotland confirms their current form as they navigate the tournament with their star player back in the lineup.
