- Sochi

– A confident Brazil squad have arrived in Russia as they set their sights on winning the World Cup for the sixth time.

Neymar and the squad left the Austrian capital of Vienna on Sunday after beating their hosts 3-0 in their final friendly.

The world’s most expensive player netted on what was his first start since undergoing surgery on a fractured foot in early March, while Gabriel Jesus and Philippe Coutinho scored the other goals.
