Neymar’s glamorous sister grabs attention at Brazil’s match against Serbia

Neymar’s beautiful sister, Rafaella Santos, was one of Brazil and her brother’s most fervent supporters at the World Cup.

The Brazilian footballers had to wait a few days to begin their tournament in Qatar.

But they finally faced Serbia in their opening group match, four days after hosts Qatar officially kicked off the World Cup.

Rafaella took to Instagram to show her support for her country, which is aiming to win its first World Cup since 2002.

The Brazilian beauty posed for the camera as she got ready for the match against Serbia.

Two men wearing Brazilian jerseys, a flag and colours can be seen around her.

In another photo, the model sits on the edge of the sofa, her face barely visible to the camera in a black-and-white shot.

What can be seen is the back of the jersey, which bears her name and the number 10, the same number Neymar wears for his country.

“My favourite number!”, she wrote.

Rafaella has always supported Neymar throughout his career, and the pair seem to share a special brother-sister bond.

The relationship appeared so strong that the PSG star always seemed to be unavailable to play for his club around Rafaella’s birthday.

There was almost no chance Neymar would miss the match against Serbia, as he looks to lead his country to World Cup glory.

And at their home tournament four years earlier, Brazil were famously humbled and humiliated by Germany in the semi-final.

If they are to get that far this time, they will have to fight their way out of a group containing Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon.
