Neymar breaks down in tears after scoring Brazil's winning penalty to beat Germany to Olympic gold and banish World Cup ghosts

BRAZIL 1-1 GERMANY (AET, 5-4 ON PENALTIES): Neymar inspired Brazil to redemption, revenge and glory, helping atone for the most humiliating night in the country's footballing history by defeating nemesis Germany on penalties to finally win Olympic gold. 


The wounds remain raw two years on from a 7-1 World Cup semi-final shellacking that not only saw the Selecao lose the chance of winning on home turf but their dignity.
