Neymar leaves an affectionate message on Barcelona winger’s social media post | OneFootball

Hansi Flick decided to rest his main goalscoring threat, Robert Lewandowski, in the last night Copa del Rey Round of 16 tie against Real Betis, but FC Barcelona still scored 5 goals in this game.

Gavi opened the scoring only three minutes into the game, and Kounde, Raphinha, Ferran Torres, and Lamine Yamal then also got their names on the scoresheet.

Yamal was once again particularly spectacular in this game, as he gave an assist and scored his team’s last goal of the night in the 75th minute.

Barcelona fans throughout the world would have enjoyed this performance from the young winger, and these fans were once again full of praise for their gem who just continues to amaze with every passing game.

Over these last one and a half years, Yamal has gathered praise and compliments from some of the biggest names in football. The latest to speak affectionately of him was the former Blaugrana star Neymar Junior.

As SPORT has reported, the Brazilian commented on a social media post made by Yamal which included a photo of himself accompanied with a Brazilian song. Responding to this post, Neymar wrote: “You are very Brazilian. Dance crack.”

This comment would have meant a lot for Yamal, as it is no secret that Neymar is one of his biggest idols. Only recently, the Barcelona youngster celebrated one of his goals by imitating a signature Neymar gesture, and he has publicly spoken of his admiration for the Brazilian several times.

Meanwhile, Yamal is also imitating the former Barcelona winger on the pitch as well. He has entertained a lot with his skills and fancy moves, while also remaining a highly effective player on the pitch. In fact, he can have a career even better than his idol if he continues to play at the same level that he has displayed up to now.
