Incredibly touching: Neymar adds his newborn daughter's name to his boots

Santos star Neymar is a proud father of four. The footballer wants his children to be close to him even on the pitch, so he has inscribed their names on his match boots.

In a new photo posted to his Instagram page, you can see that the boots are engraved with the names of his older children—his son Davi Lucca and daughters Mavi and Helena. And since his third daughter, Mel, was just born on July 6, he added her name to the list by hand, writing it in with a marker.

As a reminder, the Brazilian is raising Mel and Mavi together with their mother, his partner Bruna Biancardi. He also has an older son, Davi Lucca, who is 14, and his one-year-old daughter Helena, who recently celebrated her birthday as well.

It's worth noting that Neymar wore these special boots yesterday in a friendly match against Desportiva. Santos cruised to a 3-1 victory, with Neymar scoring from the penalty spot and providing an assist.
