After his name is announced, the Everton star was teary-eyed, cuddling family members as others clapped and cheered.

The forward, who scored 14 goals last season, was part of a new-look Brazil squad that had a number of youngsters included and high-profile players missing out.

The likes of Eder Militao,  Lucas Paqueta, Everton and David Neres were all selected, while Lucas Moura, Fabinho and Vinicus Jr missed out.

Richarlison told Gazeta Online: “I was very nervous.

“I even looked to the side when it reached the 22nd name and I had not yet been called.

“Even so, I have always dreamed of this moment.
