Distraught Neymar has found his voice to salute Lionel Messi after Argentina defeated Brazil on Saturday to win the COPA Cup.
He said although losing hurt him, he could not but celebrate Messi for grabbing the title.
He noted in an Instagram post on Sunday: “Losing hurts me, it hurts me… it’s something I haven’t learned to live with yet. Yesterday when I lost, I went to give a hug to the biggest and best in history that I saw playing. My friend and brother MESSI, I was sad and I told him “f***, you won me.
“I am very sad for having 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 HERMANO HDP”
