Two of the biggest sports stars in the world right now are juniors - Neymar Jr, as the back of his Barcelona shirt says, in football, and NFL star Odell Beckham Jr.

The two juniors came together this week, with the evidence presented by Brazilian forward Neymar on his Instagram page.

He showed off his signed New York Giants shirt, with Beckham Jr's number 13 on the back. 

The shirt came complete with the message: 'To Neymar, Jrs are the best, Stay different! Luv!' as well as Beckham Jr's signature.

The gesture was certainly appreciated by Neymar Jr,  who captained the picture 'Thanks bro'. 

Neymar is suspended for Saturday's La Ligamatch at Osasuna, with Arda Turan likely to take his spot next to Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in the defending champions' vaunted attack.

Barcelona will miss one-third of their 'MSN' strike force, with Neymar contributing to 131 goals between the three players last season. 

However Turan filled in superbly for Neymar on Tuesday when he scored his first hat trick for Barcelona to lead the team to a 4-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach in the Champions League.
