Brazil playmaker Philippe Coutinho was left heartbroken after the final whistle in Kazan on Friday evening, with Belgium ending the South Americans' dream to lift the World Cup for the sixth time in their history.
The Red Devils defeated Coutinho and Neymar's side 2-1, thanks to an unlucky own goal by Fernandinho and a thunderbolt in the bottom corner by Kevin De Bruyne. Renato Augusto's late header, making the most of the Barcelona talent's assist, gave Brazil a bit of hope to try to find a dramatic equaliser. However, it was not to be.
At the end of the match, Coutinho said he was expecting a lot of criticism following Brazil's elimination.
