Hilarious: Neymar injured after a sliding tackle from his own fans!

After signing a new, four year contract with PSG worth 4 billion KSH per season (!), Neymar has become an even bigger asset to the Parisians. And after what happened to the Brazilian on Thursday, maybe the Quatar owners should consider tightning the security around their biggest asset even more.

Neymar signs contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain

The season in France might be over, but modern day footballers have other competitions to attend, and Neymar went to his native Brazil, for the World Cup qualifiers. After the team bus arrived to the hotel in Porto Alegre, Neymar, as well as his team mates, was greeted by the fans, but one group of youngsters were so fired after seeing their idol that they managed to give security the slip, charging towards the the Brazilian in the hopes of getting up close and personal.

But as two fans rushed towards Neymar, one slipped and fell and ended up crashing into the 29-year-old. The youngster – who was clasping his mobile phone, indicating he had been seeking a selfie with the striker – clung to the striker for dear life before eventually being dragged to his feet and led away, as was a young female gatecrasher.

Neymar, meanwhile, appeared to lose both of his shoes in the scuffle, and was seen gingerly making his way into the team hotel while trying to put them back on his feet. Brazil boss Tite is yet to offer an update on the Paris Saint-Germain forward's fitness following the incident as preparations continue ahead of this month's World Cup qualifiers and Copa America. Brazil are gearing up for a World Cup qualifying double-header, starting against Ecuador in Brasilia on Friday before traveling to Paraguay on Tuesday.

Brazilian outlet ’Globo’ even caught up with the ’tacklerer’, a 15-year-old Neymar lover Lucas Nogueira.

“When I saw it was Neymar, I ran and braked in front of him, then I slipped. I’m a big fan of Neymar. I live in Sergipe, but my sister is living in Porto Alegre and I came here to try to see Neymar” said the teenager, adding that Neymar had urged security to be gentle with him.
