The defeat of the Brazilian national team by Norway in the round of 16 of the World Cup prompted a massive evaluation from various media in the country.
O Globo called it "the end of the hexa dream," referring to Brazil's long wait for a sixth World Cup title.
The newspaper said Carlo Ancelotti's World Cup debut as Brazil national team coach had failed even before they faced the "specter" of the quarter-finals, referring to the Samba team's poor run of difficulties in the last few editions.
O Globo said Brazil had not been eliminated in the round of 16 since Diego Maradona's Argentina crushed their hopes in the 1990 edition.
O Globo also pointed out a striking fact from New Jersey: Brazil only recorded 32 percent possession, their lowest figure in a World Cup match since records began in 1966.
Folha de S.Paulo opens its review with a similar tone of disappointment and desperation.
"Brazil was eliminated, and the dream was shattered," the newspaper wrote.
The newspaper wrote that the Norwegian national team "rowed, triumphed, and left the Selecao stranded on the beach" following Erling Haaland's two goals in the second half of the match.
Folha lamented a "very sad" day for Neymar, saying that Brazil's all-time leading goalscorer had played his final World Cup match at the age of 34.
The publication said Ancelotti now has four years to build a team "without improvisation", arguing that the coach was not given enough time to fully implement his ideas after being appointed in May last year.
UOL offered a far more pointed assessment, comparing the defeat to Ancelotti's impressive record in European club football.
"The failure with the Selecao was the biggest in the career of Ancelotti, the king of club football," the media said.
In a separate article in UOL , columnist Mauro Cezar Pereira faulted the Italian coach's tactical approach.
