Vitoria
The Barcelona star missed out on his club’s 4-0 win against Eibar on Sunday through suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season. He received special dispensation from manager Luis Enrique and the club’s four captains to attend the celebration in Sao Paolo instead.
Brazil international Neymar showed his own sense of style by ignoring the theme, turning up to the event on Monday in his trademark hat.
The 24-year-old is close to his sister Rafaella - the pair received tattoos of each other in June 2015. Neymar clearly had fun at the event, judging by his Instagram post afterwards. He wrote: “This photo shows how happy I was yesterday.
Watching my sister grow up and reconnecting with friends is priceless. I long for yesterday, what a moment.” Neymar has been in exceptional form for Barcelona this season, scoring 23 times in 37 appearances for the club.
