Rio de Janeiro: A video of two fans running into Brazillian footballer Neymar Jr (and injuring him in the process) is making rounds. In this 36-second video, the Paris Saint Germain (PSG) forward is seen struggling to find his way as the two alleged fans tried to circle him.
In the video, we see the Brazilian players walking into the hotel after finishing their practice session. As Neymar steps out of the bus, there's a huge roar in the background, and the very next moment we see a man and a woman running towards the footballer. Unaware of this, Neymar keeps walking and the two "fans" running towards the Brazilian footballer run into each other first, and one of them slams both his feet into Neymar's. Utter chaos follows as another fan walks to meet the footballer.
Check out the video of Neymar getting hurt below:
The account that posted the video wrote: "Neymar was run over on arrival at the hotel after training with open mouth and cold sweat!!!
