Neymar has sent a classy message of congratulations to "brother" Lionel Messi after his World Cup final triumph over France and Paris Saint-Germain teammate Kylian Mbappe.
The Brazil star, whose nation were dumped out of the tournament in the quarter-finals, watched from home as neighbours Argentina dramatically came out on top in a jaw-dropping final on Sunday which finished 3-3 after extra-time. But Neymar was willing to put the South American rivalry side in awe of Messi's achievement, as he finally won the World Cup at the age of 35.
"Congratulations brother," the 30-year-old wrote on Instagram, as he shared a photo of Messi kissing the trophy at the Lusail Stadium. Unfortunately, Neymar won't be able to say the same to another of his teammates at the Parc des Princes, as Mbappe went home with only the Golden Boot and a silver medal.
