Neymar and his teammates just helped Brazil win the Olympic men's football gold medal, an achievement that fans of this country have been waiting for 64 years.

In the final, Neymar himself opened the scoring for Brazil in the 27th minute with a beautiful free kick. After 120 minutes of play with the result 1-1, Brazil and Germany had to take a penalty shootout. Once again, Neymar shone when he successfully converted the decisive kick, bringing a 5-4 victory to the home team. |

Neymar and his son shared joy in a historic moment for Brazilian football. The world's most successful football nation has been unlucky in the Olympic arena since its first appearance in 1952. The Olympic gold medal was the only achievement Brazil lacked before this year's tournament. |

Neymar calmly converted the decisive penalty in the fifth round. |

Germany goalkeeper Timo Horn was completely fooled by Neymar's shot into the top right corner |

The Olympic dream came true for Neymar and his teammates, while Germany still could not win the Gold Medal. |

Entering the penalty shootout, Brazil could not help but feel tense under pressure. |

Two years ago, Brazil lost to Germany (at the highest team level) in the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup. If they lose again, the team in yellow and green could be considered national criminals. |

Before winning the penalty shootout, Neymar himself opened the scoring with a beautiful free kick. The ball flew into the top corner, leaving goalkeeper Horn helpless. |

Neymar shares the joy like track and field superstar Usain Bolt. |

In the stands, Usain Bolt was also present to watch the final match. |

The victory in the Olympic final helped Brazil "avenge" the German team to some extent. The pain of losing 1-7 in the semi-final of the 2014 World Cup has gradually subsided. |
