Raphinha, Vinicius Jr, Brazil, Neymar
10 June 2026
Raphinha has backed himself and Vinicius Jr to lead Brazil toward a sixth World Cup title, saying both can decide major matches. Brazil enter the tournament under pressure after failing to win the trophy since 2002.
With Neymar still short of fitness, Brazil’s hopes are expected to lean heavily on Vinicius and Raphinha’s attacking output. The Barcelona winger also stressed defensive improvement as Carlo Ancelotti’s side prepare for Morocco in Group C.
