What Neymar did after Barcelona thumped Real Madrid in Spanish Super Cup

Barcelona legend Neymar Jr. couldn’t hide his excitement after his former club secured a memorable victory over their biggest rivals, Real Madrid.

Barcelona triumphed in the Spanish Super Cup final with a commanding 5-2 scoreline in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The win not only marked their first trophy of the season but also reinforced their dominance over Madrid, following a 4-0 win in La Liga earlier in 2024.

The standout performance of the night came from Brazilian star Raphinha, who was directly involved in three of Barcelona’s goals.

Neymar, who shares a strong bond with his fellow countryman and the club where he enjoyed some of his finest years, showed his support on social media.

Commenting on Raphinha’s Instagram post celebrating the victory, Neymar simply wrote, “Visca Barca,” showing his unwavering connection to the Catalan giants.

Gavi’s touching moment with Real Madrid president

While the win was filled with joy for Barcelona fans, one moment stood out for its sportsmanship. Young midfielder Gavi, who delivered a solid performance in his 60 minutes on the pitch, approached Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez after the match.

In a heartfelt gesture, Gavi thanked Pérez for a letter he had sent during the player’s recovery from an ACL injury.

“I wanted to thank you for the letter you sent me when I got injured,” Gavi said, displaying humility and respect beyond the fierce rivalry between the two clubs.

The match was more than just a win for Barcelona—it was a showcase of skill, camaraderie, and respect, with players like Raphinha and Gavi making their mark both on and off the field.
