Brazil star Neymar has responded to an emotional Instagram post from Tottenham Hotspur’s Heung-min Son, and has labelled the South Korea captain a ‘legend’.
Son led his South Korea side to the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, but they were comfortably defeated by Brazil. A comprehensive 4-1 win for the South American side sent Son and his teammates packing for home last week.

Regardless, it was still a momentous tournament for the South Koreans. Their progress to the second round was celebrated by fans both in Qatar and Korea, and the whole team should be proud of the memories they created for those fans.
A particular highlight will be the last-gasp win against Portugal in the final group game, which sealed South Korea’s progress to the knockout stages. Tottenham Hotspur star Heung-min Son provided an incredible assist in that game for the all-important injury-time winner.
Earlier this week, Son took to social media to thank the fans for their support during the tournament. He also explained how hard he and his teammates had worked and how they wished they could have gone further in the competition.
It was an incredibly heartfelt and emotional post from Son, who clearly has a very strong connection with his fanbase. A closer look at the comments section on that post revealed another fan to add to the 30-year-old’s collection, though.
Neymar, the Brazil and Paris Saint-Germain attacker, commented on Son’s Instagram post with one word: “Legend.” Big words coming from one of the best players in the world right now.
Spurs Web Opinion
Neymar is absolutely right, Heung-min Son is a legend. He’s been an incredible servant for Tottenham Hotspur through the years and I’m sure all Spurs fans love him, and he is by far the biggest star in South Korea’s team, too. He may not have won trophies like other big-name players, but he should definitely be remembered as one of the greatest modern footballers.
