😍 These two just get on! Neymar gives Messi a special gift

Article image:😍 These two just get on! Neymar gives Messi a special gift

A special gesture among football stars: Neymar Jr. has sent FC Santos jerseys to his longtime friend Lionel Messi and his children. The club also shared the photo. 

In a post on 'X', Santos refers to the jersey as "Manto Sagrado" – the "sacred mantle" – and reminds that the number 10 holds an almost mythical significance at the club: Pelé wore it, Neymar wore it – and Messi also became a living legend worldwide with the number 10.

Neymar also wrote a personal dedication on the jersey for Messi's children. On one shirt it said: "For Thiago, a hug."

A beautiful gesture that shows how well the two football stars are still friends, even though they no longer play for the same club.
