Neymar responds to Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal’s jersey gesture

Former Barcelona star Neymar has issued a response to the latest tribute paid to him by current Blaugrana sensation Lamine Yamal.

For those not aware, wide-man Lamine considers Neymar something of a personal idol in the game.

The Spanish international has time and time again spoken of the fact that he grew up watching Neymar in Barcelona’s colours, considering the Brazilian an inspiration when it comes to his own development.

On Sunday, it therefore came as little surprise when Lamine moved to pay fresh tribute to the 32-year-old.

Taking to his official Instagram account, the prodigious young attacker unveiled a photo of himself wearing a Santos jersey, with Neymar’s name emblazoned across the back.

And the latter, as alluded to above, has since moved to issue a response.

On his own Instagram platform, Neymar reposted Lamine’s photo, tagging the Barca talent, alongside the simple caption:

‘Grande’
