Selecao star Neymar handed his match jersey to a youngster who ran into the field just as the superstar was being replaced during Sunday's French Ligue 1 tie between Rennes and PSG.
According to a UK Sun report, the Brazilian showed his affection to the kid by handing the tearful kid his jersey, before he was led off the pitch by security details.
The 26-year-old Neymar, who returned to action for PSG after their Champions League defeat away to Liverpool at Anfield, was in the thick of the action as the home side Rennes went down 1-3 to PSG.
However, in the dying moments of the game, just as the Selecao captain Neymar was being replaced by Christopher Nkunku, he was confronted by the kid, who invaded the pitch.
Interestingly, PSG conceded the first goal of the match after Adrien Rabiot netted an own goal on the 11th minute mark.
However, Argentina's Angel Di Maria scored the equalizer from a long-range effort before two other goals Thomas Meunier and Eric-Maxim Choupo Moting sealed victory for PSG.
The encounter also saw former Newcastle midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa debut for new club Rennes, against his former.
The play-maker, who left PSG for greener pastures at the end of last season campaign, netted the winner for Rennes in the Europa League showdown against Jablonec on Thursday.
However, Arfa could not find his scoring form against Neymar and Co as they lost out 1-3 at the blast of the final whistle.
