Benfica winger David Neres slid into German model's DM's with outrageous opening line
Somehow, this worked.
It can be an awkward situation trying to seal a first date but Benfica's David Neres changed the game completely when he decided to message German model Kira Winona.
The 26-year-old, who is clearly not short of confidence, has told the story of how he managed to convince Winona to go out with him in an interview with Het Parool.
"I didn't have to do much to get my current girlfriend," he said.

"I saw her on Instagram and I send her a DM with: 'I am David Neres. Come to me.' That was enough for a date."

In the interview, Neres also said that "German women apparently love Brazilian men" so he casually sent her a message and the rest is well, history.
The pair are still going strong and Winona gave birth to the couple's first child in 2020.
The Brazil international left Ajax in 2022 before signing for Portuguese side Benfica after his move to Shakhtar Donetsk was hampered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
During his time with Ajax, he helped the Amsterdam giants to the title and footage of him enjoying the win a hell of a lot went viral.
Neres enjoyed himself a lot and his post-match interview didn't hide the fact he'd probably had a drink or two, even before he got his hands on a bottle of champagne.
In the 22/23 season, Neres has made a total of 43 appearances for Benfica across all competitions, scoring 12 and assisting 13.
