But the Brazilian set social media ablaze with a hilariously brilliant post-match interview with DAZN.

Discussing the situation at the top of the table, Neres added: "Of course, we are the champions and we want to be the next champions, but if you don’t perform every week, you’ll not get there. We have to keep pushing.”

"I saw her on Instagram and I send her a DM with: 'I am David Neres. Come to me.'
"That was enough for a date. German women apparently love Brazilian men."
Neres asked Kira to marry him at a restaurant in 2024 after opening his account for Napoli in a 3-1 win over Como. He series of snaps on his Instagram, with the caption: "04.10.2024 she said yes."
