The FIFA World Cup is over and players are finally returning to their club duties. Many soccer players are joining their clubs after a brief holiday after the world cup. The season will be resuming after Christmas, however, few are returning earlier than they would have liked. Players who got eliminated from the tournament during the early knockout stage or group stage are starting training again. In the middle of this shuffle, one Brazilian star shared a nightmare story on his Instagram. Brazil was one of the fan favorites to win the tournament. Neymar tried, but destiny had something else in mind.

Fans considered this world cup the last one for the Brazilian star Neymar. The 30-year-old star tried his best to win it for the nation, but Croatia got the win and left Neymar devastated. After a break in Brazil, players are now returning to their clubs for training and resuming the season. However, not everyone arrived on time and one of them was caught in a very nightmarish situation.
