Flamengo midfielder Lucas Paqueta was one of the headlines during Brazil's two friendlies against the United States and El Salvador this week.
Paqueta, who is a Barcelona target, made his debut against the U.S following his impressive form for his club side.
He has since posted on Instagram about his delight at winning his first two caps for his country and Barça midfielder Philippe Coutinho took the chance to praise him.
"An honour to wear this shirt, really happy for this moment in my life. Thanks to God for everything I am going through," Paqueta wrote.
To which Coutinho, who would be his teammate if he moved to Camp Nou, replied: "A Golden Left Foot!" (Zurda de Oro, in reference to the Ballon d'Or, Balon de Oro).
