Video footage has emerged of Belgium star Eden Hazard and assistant manager Thierry Henry consoling Brazil forward Neymar after tonight’s World Cup result.

Belgium earned a famous 2-1 victory over the five-time winners this evening, with an own goal from Fernandinho and a sublime strike by Kevin De Bruyne doing the job.

Neymar did not have his best game after a frustrating tournament with Brazil, and it’s clear he was devastated afterwards.
