Brazil stars Neymar and Gabriel Jesus show off matching tattoos as they gun for gold in Rio
Jesus will head to Manchester City after the Olympics as Pep Guardiola aims to complete £27million deal
BRAZILIAN duo Neymar and Gabriel Jesus are very much alike in more ways than one.
Not only do the pair have similar upbringings coming from Sao Paulo, they both have the same outlook on football with the ability to turn defenders inside out and score magical goals out of nothing.
And it seems the Samba stars also have the same taste in tattoos after Neymar showed off their matching ink on Instagram.
The Barcelona forward showed off his impressive tattoo on his left calf last December of a young Brazilian boy wearing a cap, staring up at Sao Paulo's favela slums, dreaming one day of owning a house, becoming a football and winning the Champions League.
