Bruno Guimarães has insisted it was always the plan for him to take the penalty in Brazil’s World Cup defeat to Norway, dismissing “conspiracies” involving Vinícius Júnior.
Brazil lost 2–1 to Norway at the round of 16 stage in New Jersey on July 5, with Guimarães missing a crucial penalty early in the first half that set the tone for the match in which Erling Haaland scored twice.
