João Neves appears in a van and the internet goes crazy: "100% Portuguese"

SAPO Notícias1 September 2026 at 12:19

João Neves, a promising Portuguese young talent in football who plays for PSG, surprised everyone by showing up at the French club's training session driving a modest and common Peugeot Partner van, instead of the luxury cars normally associated with football stars worldwide. The unexpected attitude of the player caught everyone's attention.

The young Portuguese player, who became one of the most hyped signings of the recent transfer market, chose a simple vehicle for his trips to training. This choice strongly contrasts with the usual standard of top players, who are generally seen driving high-value cars.

The humble attitude of João Neves sparked a wave of reactions on social media, where users praised his simplicity and character. The post showing the player in the van became viral, with many comments highlighting his genuineness and criticizing the typical ostentation of professional football.

The player, who is considered one of the most promising young stars in European football, thus seems to want to keep his feet firmly on the ground, despite the success and media exposure he has achieved. This attitude has been winning admirers both in Portugal and internationally.
