History in Rio
The Olympic games came to an end last weekend with an exciting finish as Brazil. Led by Neymar JR won the gold medal after a penalty shootout vs Germany (1:1 after 120 minutes) as the FC Barcelona star scored the final penalty that started the celebrations at the Maracanã. This was the first time Brazil won the Gold medal in the Olympic football tournament and a sort of compensation to the local fans after being destroyed by the Germans just 2 years ago in the World Cup semi-Final.
