The pop star posted a video Friday on Instagram profiling the duo dumping off passes to each other and bouncing a ball back and forth. Neymar casually accomplished the feat with beverage in hand.

Bieber, 22, showed previous experience at the beautiful game, maintaining a mostly controlled touch.

Bieber trained with FC Barcelona in 2011.

"In that game, Justin Bieber, Thiago and Benja played against one of the singer's friends, Bojan and Fontàs. All played into the same goal defended by Rubén Miño, and Bieber showed surprisingly decent skills with his left foot," Barcelona said on its website.

Neymar had quite the United States tour over the last few weeks. He announced that he would be the first soccer player to wear Michael Jordan branded boots, while meeting 'His Airness.' He also took batting practice with the New York Mets.
