Neymar shows beautiful gesture as he dedicates his goal to Kobe Bryant

Neymar has dedicated his second goal against Lille to late Kobe Bryant.

The Brazilian raised the '24' with his fingers (the number under which Bryant played most of his career), then bowed and raised his forefinger to the sky.

Neymar was well-acquainted with Kobe Bryant during his times at Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. The NBA star often paid visits to Barca's training base.

41-year-old Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash earlier on Sunday. He was travelling in California with four more people on board, one of them supposedly being his daughter Gianna Maria Bryant.
