Brazilian international star Neymar Junior from Santos sent a heartfelt message to Real Madrid star Rodrygo Goes, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury that will keep him away from the team for a long time.

Neymar said: "Today is one of the saddest days for me. When I learned about the injury, cinematic scenes played in my mind."

He added, "All the suffering, all the pain, and the fear of going through this injury. My son, my child, my heir (that's what I call you), I ask you for just one thing... now is the time to surround yourself with everyone you love."

He emphasized, "As I said, you don't deserve to go through this now... but who are we to question God's plans?"

He concluded: "My little brother... strength, I am sure you will soar back. I love you the same way you supported me, I will be here for you."
