Mexico star taunts Neymar after Brazil exit

Andres Guardado took to Instagram to taunt Neymar with a post saying "and now who is going home?" after Brazil's World Cup elimination.

Neymar Jr of Brazil looks dejected following his side's defeat in the World Cup Quarter Final match between Brazil and Belgium at Kazan Arena on July 6.

Mexico midfielder Andres Guardado taunted Neymar after Brazil's elimination from the World Cup, in retaliation for the Paris Saint-Germain star's comments about his team earlier in the tournament.

Brazil beat Mexico 2-0 to knock them out in the round of 16, prompting Neymar to hit out at Guardado's side in his post-match comments, saying: "They talked too much, and now they are going home."

But the Selecaos were undone by Belgium in the quarter-finals as an own-goal from Fernandinho and a Kevin De Bruyne strike rendered Renato Augusto's second-half strike no more than a consolation.

Real Betis playmaker Guardado, who played against Neymar for Valencia when the Brazilian was at Barcelona, took to social media in the aftermath of Brazil's defeat to post a retort to Neymar.

"And now who is going home?" he wrote in an Instagram story.

Neymar was responsible for just one of Brazil's nine shots on target as it crashed out against Belgium, leaving him with just two goals to show for his efforts in Russia.
