Neymar sends a special gift to Messi and his sons
Despite playing together for years, Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr.'s friendship remains one of the strongest in the world of football. This bond, which began after Neymar's move from Santos to Barcelona, was recently highlighted by a heartwarming gesture. Neymar sent autographed Santos jerseys bearing his name and the number 10 to Messi and his sons, Thiago and Mateo. The club shared photos on its official platforms, showing Messi and his sons smiling and holding the jerseys, a powerful message of friendship between the two football stars. This friendship has remained unaffected by the years or transfers between teams and leagues. Messi and Neymar played together at Barcelona between 2013 and 2017, forming the famous "MSN" attacking trio with Luis Suárez, which scored over 360 goals. After their move to Paris Saint-Germain, the two stars continued to share a dressing room between 2021 and 2023. Even in official matches between Argentina and Brazil, mutual respect has always prevailed, as seen in the 2021 Copa América final, when Messi led his team to victory and was careful not to provoke Neymar during the celebrations. Now, with the 2026 World Cup approaching, the two stars could meet again at the international level. Brazil is in Group C, and Argentina in Group J, but the participation of Messi and Neymar in the tournament remains uncertain, as the latter needs to fully recover from his injuries before making his final decision.
