Neymar Jr, who has been sidelined with an injury since February finally returned to action for Brazil in Sunday's pre-World Cup friendly against Croatia. The Paris Saint-Germain star's impact was immediately felt after he netted a brilliant solo goal upon his introduction into the game prior to the commencement of the second-half.
Before his feat, Roberto Firmino had opened the scoring and put the Seleccao ahead in the game played at Anfield. Nevertheless, a side scene involving Neymar and Luka Modric has caused a few heads to turn with rumors of the former's purported move to Real Madrid refusing to die down.
The pair were spotted in the tunnel exchanging autographed jerseys. Watch the footage below:

This may not be much to go on about as far as negotiating transfer deals are concerned but there a gentle plea among fans on social media for the forward to join Los Blancos.
