Neymar eager to repay supporters' affection after giving shirt to crying boy

An emotional young fan met the forward as he left the pitch, and the 26-year-old insisted he was not angry at being substituted

Neymar said he wants to repay supporters for their affection after giving his shirt to a young fan during Paris Saint-Germain's win over Rennes.

The Brazil superstar assisted Thomas Meunier to put PSG in front after an Angel Di Maria thunderbolt got Thomas Tuchel's side back on level terms in Sunday's 3-1 Ligue 1 win.

A tearful young supporter entered the pitch to meet his hero and receive Neymar's shirt when he was substituted in the 91st minute at Roazhon Park.
