Fans of Brazil have shown their displeasure at the exit of the former world champions from the 2018 World Cup.
This they did by pelting the bus of the team, which included Neymar, with stones.
Brazil struggled to a 1-1 draw with Switzerland in the first group game before two late goals against Costa Rica settled the nerves and a 2-0 win over Serbia took them through as group winners.
The win over Mexico in the second round cemented them as tournament favourites and it looked like they were just getting into the swing of things, only to be chopped down by Belgium.
After the defeat they returned home and footage from Twitter suggests they didn’t get the warmest of welcomes.
Brazil went 2-0 down in the first half against Belgium with Fernandinho’s own goal being followed up by a magical finish from Kevin de Bruyne, but in the second half they laid siege to the European’s goal.
Renato Augusto pulled one back for Brazil and the substitute could have scored another, whilst Philippe Coutinho and Neymar also might have scored.
Gabriel Jesus might have won a penalty when Vincent Kompany took him down in the penalty area but even the VAR officials didn’t think it should have been a spot kick, not to say they also weren’t wrong.
Ultimately though the Red Devils’ defence was excellent and through Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard and De Bruyne they counter attacked brilliantly and caused the Selecao problems all night.
Brazil haven’t won the World Cup since 2002 which is their second longest run without winning it.
