Neymar paid tribute to former Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi after Brazil's Copa America final defeat to Argentina.
There was a special moment in the aftermath of Argentina's Copa America victory over Brazil, as Lionel Messi and Neymar shared an embrace and had a lengthy conversation.
"Losing hurts me and it's something I still haven't learned to live with," the PSG star began.
"Yesterday, when I lost, I went to give a hug to the greatest and best I have ever seen play in football history, my friend and brother Messi. I was sad and I joked to him 'you son of a bitch, you've beaten me!'
"I'm very sad to have lost, but this guy is awesome! I have great respect for what he has done for football and especially for me.
"I hate to lose! But enjoy your title. Football was waiting for you for that moment! Congratulations brother."
