The Barcelona teenager clearly relished the meeting.
He has since posted a message to Neymar on Instagram that reads: “An idol and role model, thank you for everything, No. 1 always.”

Neymar is currently back in Brazil with Santos but his father has talked up a return to Europe this week as he considers his future.
The Brazilian superstar could be on the move again as his plan is to be in top form by the time the 2026 World Cup rolls around next year.
Yamal and Spain will surely head into the competition as one of the favorites after winning the Euros in their last major tournament.
