On the night of Barcelona’s big win against Copenhagen in the Champions League, young sensation Lamine Yamal scored a goal and celebrated in Neymar’s signature style, sparking discussion. After the match, the 18-year-old forward revealed the reason behind the celebration, disclosing a surprising agreement he has with Brazilian star Neymar.
Yamal said that their friendship has reached a unique level, transcending the rivalry on the football field. He said, “I have made a deal with Neymar. If Spain and Brazil meet in the World Cup final, regardless of the outcome, we will go on vacation together after the match.”
Yamal spent some time at Neymar’s house in Rio de Janeiro last June. It was during that time that the chemistry between the two stars deepened. Recalling the memories of that trip, Yamal made it clear that friendship takes priority over competition for him.
However, a major obstacle to realizing this ‘dream’ final and vacation plan is injury. Neymar has been out of the national team since October 2023 after knee surgery. There is still uncertainty about whether he will be able to play in the upcoming World Cup. On the other hand, a match between Spain, who are in Group H, and Brazil, who are in Group C, is only possible in the final. The football world is now eagerly watching to see if Yamal and Neymar’s personal agreement will ultimately come to fruition
