Thierry Henry Reacts to Neymar's World Cup Exit

Thierry Henry has given his verdict on Neymar after the Brazil star's international career ended in disappointment at the World Cup.

Neymar's Brazil crashed out of the World Cup with a 2-1 loss to Norway in the Round of 16.

Neymar got himself on the scoresheet with a late penalty, but it came too late for the World Cup record-holders.

Thierry Henry pointed out Neymar's influence on world football when speaking on FOX Sports, saying he made everyone fall in love with football.

The French icon said he would have paid money just to watch Neymar play.

Neymar enjoyed a storied international career, eclipsing the late great Pele as Brazil's all-time top scorer with 80 goals and 59 assists in 130 games.

He won the UEFA Champions League and two La Liga titles while at Barcelona, forming one of the greatest frontlines in the sport's history with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

Neymar then made a controversial move to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017, becoming the world's most expensive player in a £200m deal.

He fired PSG to five Ligue 1 titles among other major trophies, but didn't always win over the Parisian fanbase.

The Brazilian will go down as one of the most polarising players to ever grace the game, but on his day, he was a special talent who could light up stadiums with his quick feet and clinical finishing abilities.
