Brazil vs Mexico (LIVE UPDATES): Neymar battles to stay on in Russia

byTunde Eludini

3 min read

After Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Brazilian superstar Neymar is often seen as the next in line.

The world’s most expensive player will be battling to stay on in Russia as Brazil take on Mexico in the first Round of 16 tie for Monday.

The Samba Boys are gunning for an unprecedented sixth World Cup title in Russia after falling short on home soil last time out; losing in the semifinals of the 2014 edition of the Mundial to Germany.

With big guns like Germany, Argentina and lately Spain already sent packing, Brazil are fully aware they cannot take anything for granted against Mexico in Monday’s clash billed for Samara.
