Last month Neymar was in the headlines after another Instagram story showed a poster of him and Gabigol but with his Brazil team-mate’s head covered up.
It was believed that the former Barcelona man was unhappy with the relationship between Gabigol and his sister, Rafaella Santos, but his feelings towards him appear to have thawed.
On his story, Neymar wrote ‘Vamooo Flamengo, E Brasil!’ as the 27-year-old enjoyed seeing Brazilian club football triumph over Argentinian opposition.

Gabigol reportedly first started dating Neymar’s sister several months ago and the pair recently shared pictures of them together on social media.
The striker joined Inter Milan in 2016 but has spent the last three seasons on loan at Benfica, Santos and Flamengo.
Since returning to Brazil the 23-year-old has enjoyed great success, scoring 31 goals in 38 games this season.
