Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil World Cup journey came to an abrupt end in the round of 16 after a surprising defeat to Norway.

Brazil's campaign was further hampered by injuries to key players like Paquetá and Raphinha, forcing them to depend on Vinicius Jr., who was inexplicably not allowed to take a penalty against Norway in favor of Bruno Guimaraes, who had minimal penalty experience. Despite his deep integration into Brazilian culture, Ancelotti's tenure was marked by questionable selections and a lack of control, leading to an early exit from the tournament.
