Landed at Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2024 from Benfica Lisbon, Joao Neves should not regret his choice. A year later, he has become one of the best midfielders in the world, and has filled his trophy cabinet. Indeed, the Portuguese international has notably won Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, the Champions League and the European Super Cup.
At the same time, the 21-year-old is living a beautiful love story with Madalena Aragao, a 20-year-old Portuguese actress and screenwriter. He also sends him a little message after each of his goals. As was the case during his fabulous hat-trick against Toulouse on August 30.
On the airwaves of Portuguese radio Mega Hits, Madalena Aragao revealed the secret behind her companion's celebration. “ It all started in my family. My mother came up with the idea that 123 means “I love you.” For example, if you are far from me, instead of shouting “I love you”, you just make the gesture with your fingers “, she explained.
Madalena Aragao: “My mother started crying, my sister Maria started crying, and so did I”
And to add: “ When he scored his first goal for PSG, we hadn't even started celebrating yet. It was in Marseille, and I was working here, in Portugal. That day, we had dinner as a family to watch the game. And when he scored, he did. My mother started crying, my sister Maria started crying, and so did I. »
Madalena Aragao also returned to her meeting with the young Parisian. “ Like many people today, we met on social networksshe revealed.
It was some time ago, three or four years ago. We had been friends for a long time, we spoke from time to time, but just friends. Then, two or three years later, I said to myself, “I'm single, he seems like a nice guy, why not?” » And that's when things started to change. »
