Neymar started his career at Santos before moving to Barcelona for £71.5 million, where he has flourished alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in a three-pronged attack.

Gabigol is also a product of Santos, having won two league titles there before leaving for Europe to join Inter Milan. His first season in Serie A has been underwhelming, but has recently been brightened by developments off the field.
