The Brazil striker is adamant that he was fouled by Dejan Lovren in the hosts’ 3-1 win against Croatia.
The decision gave Neymar the chance to put Brazil 2-1 up, and the Barcelona forward converted from the spot.
Fred told the CBF website: “I got a push on the left shoulder that prevented me from making the goal. I was inside the small area. It was a clear penalty. I saw a lot of people saying that it was not a penalty, but it was a push and it was enough to take the ball from me,” he said.
