2026 World Cup: What Ancelotti said after Norway eliminated Brazil from last 16

Brazil head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has spoken about their extreme sadness following their elimination from the 2026 World Cup.

The Selecao lost 2-1 to Norway in a Round of 16 clash on Sunday.

Erling Haaland struck twice late in the game, before Neymar Jr pulled one back with a late penalty.

“I think we are all extremely sad, because I see that the team has delivered not an exceptional World Cup but a good one,” Ancelotti said.

“I also think that in today’s match we deserved to win. When you go through a moment like this, you have to think that the loss is the beginning of a new adventure, and a new season.

“We must continue to work and improve, and find new ideas. I believe that this loss is not the end, but the beginning of a new cycle.”
