All eyes on Neymar’s beautiful sister, Rafaella Santos

4 mins read

The internet is currently amazed, impressed, and in awe by the beauty of PSG’s forward player, Neymar’s beautiful younger sister, Rafaella Santos who changed her last name to Bechran.

She dropped her last name “Da silva Santos” because of the tremendous love she has for England’s very own, David Beckham.

Rafaella, born on March 11, 1996, has a tattoo of his brother’s eyes on her right arm, proving that the sibling love between them is solid, it’s reported that around her birthday, Neymar usually has a series of bad luck on the pitch.

Neymar has tattoed her name on his wrist and her face on his right bicep.

Neymar and his sister have matching crowns inked on their left arms.

He has the word ‘Sorella’ which means sister in Italian, while hers reads ‘Fratello’, meaning brother.

Neymar attending sister’s birthday in March

In 2015, the then-Barcelona star picked up his fifth booking of the season against Granada on February 28, meaning he was suspended for the match against Rayo Vallecano on March 8.

Barcelona allowed him to travel to Brazil and he returned before their next game on March 14.


The following season, he picked up yet another suspension, playing against Rayo on March 3.

The Brazilian missed the match against Eibar on March 6 and headed back to Brazil once again to celebrate his sister’s Disney-themed birthday party.

He needed to get permission from Luis Enrique and Barcelona’s captain Andres Iniesta, plus his three vice-captains – Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Javier Mascherano as corroborated by goal.

In 2018, the Brazil captain missed a game for the fifth consecutive season around the time of her birthday.

In 2019, Neymar was injured for the majority of the second half of the season, including the whole month of March.

Neymar who hasn’t played professional football in Brazil since leaving Sao Paulo for Barcelona in 2013 missed Rafaella’s birthday celebrations for the first time in six years to help PSG beat Borussia Dortmund this year.

Real Madrid and Spain International captain Sergio Ramos once making light of the situation.

“I like to play with the best and Neymar is one of them,” he said, adding with a laugh: “What we would have to negotiate is his sister’s birthday.”

Clearly and evidently, Neymar’s love for his baby sister is evident and there’s nothing that can come between them, they are inseparable.

Rafaella who used to date dating AC Milan’s Andre Silva isn’t living under her brother’s star, she currently commands over 5.5 million followers on Instagram alone.

“One of my greatest achievements in life, to have the joy of creating the Instituto Neymar Jr. and see those smiles,” Neymar wrote on his personal Facebook page

She’s also a model and a philanthropist running the Instituto Neymar Jr.

She models for Elleven Wear, a fashion.

Here are the beautiful photos of Rafaella who always look amazing on her photos, always but I bet you already knew that.
