L-R Nico Williams and Neymar
Ghanaian-born Spanish winger Nico Williams was delighted to receive a response from Neymar after using the latter's celebration at the recently concluded Euro 2024.
Nico, in an Instagram post, shared an image of himself doing the celebration after scoring in the final.
Neymar responded to the post with emojis arranged to reflect the celebration. Nico, thrilled to see Neymar's comment, responded by naming the Brazilian his 'idol'.
In a previous interview with Mundo Deportivo, Nico noted that Neymar has been his inspiration since childhood.
"He is a big inspiration for me, the player I enjoyed watching most as a kid. I always tried to emulate his dribbles, even if they didn’t always come off. He is my idol, and I hope to achieve what he has achieved in my own way," Williams earlier said.
Nico Williams was instrumental for Spain in their run to winning their fourth UEFA European Championship.
He scored in the 2-1 win in the final against England and won man-of-the-match, his second in the tournament.
