Former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has taken to social media on Thursday, to provide his response to the tribute paid to him by compatriot Raphinha.
Wide-man Raphinha, for his part, of course took his place front and centre in the headlines across Europe late last night.
As much came as the Brazilian international proved himself decisive in guiding Barcelona beyond PSG, in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie between the clubs.
On target to the tune of a brace at the Parc des Princes, Raphinha, alongside Andreas Christensen, ensured that Xavi’s troops boast the advantage heading into next week’s return leg back in Catalunya.
And yet, the former Leeds United star’s Man of the Match display, in itself, was not the only reason for Raphinha turning heads on Wednesday.
In addition, the 27-year-old caught the eye with his celebration, after netting the opener in France’s capital.
This came as Raphinha paid something of a tribute to the aforementioned Neymar, in recreating the celebration utilised by the ex-Barcelona and PSG man during his own time in Europe.
And, as alluded to above, on Thursday, Neymar has provided his response.
Taking to the comments section of a Barcelona Instagram post showcasing Raphinha’s celebration, the ex-Blaugrana wide-man made use of emojis, to show his appreciation for Raphinha:
