Neymar and Gabriel Jesus showcased their incredible skills in the world’s biggest five-a-side tournament in Brazil on Saturday.

Over 100,000 from 53 countries battled it out in Neymar’s home town of Praia Grande and it was Romania who ran out winners against England in the title decider.

For their efforts, Romania were rewarded with a friendly match against Neymar, Jesus and friends.

The Barcelona star said: “I am very happy to hold the second edition of the tournament here in my hometown. There are lots of players from all over the world and it makes me really proud.”

Jesus’ inclusion will certainly give Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola a boost ahead of the new season.

The 20-year-old is recovering from a fractured eye socket sustained against Argentina last month, but is expected to be fit next month.
