Brazil and Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar has hinted that the upcoming FIFA World Cup could be his last.
The 30-year-old was unsurprisingly included in Selecao's 26-man squad for the tournament, which gets underway in Qatar next weekend.
The PSG star has featured at the 2014 and 2018 editions for the five-time world champions and this year's tournament could be the last opportunity for him to win the title.

"I'll play like it's the last," Neymar told Globo.
"I talk to my father, we always talk, to play each game as if it were the last because you don't know what will happen tomorrow.
"I can't guarantee that I'll play another [World] Cup. I honestly don't know. I'll play like it's the last. Maybe I'll play another one, maybe not. It depends. There's going to be a coaching change and I don't know if that coach will like me."
Neymar also needs two more goals to equal Pele's all-time scoring record for the national side.
"It's more than I imagined, than I dreamt," he said.
"I never thought about numbers, I never wanted to overtake anyone, break a record. I always just wanted to play football.
"Pele is the reference. Pele is football. Pele is practically everything for our country. The respect and admiration I have for him is enormous."
