Neymar wrestled to the ground during Brazil’s open training session as pitch invaders chased star

NEYMAR was taken out in an open training session for Brazil by pitch invaders as they chased the striker on the pitch.

The Barcelona front man seemed unharmed took the incident in a good light and even laughed as the youngsters were led away by officials.

Neymar is one of the most famous athletes in the country and is adored by the Brazilian fans such is his popularity and that would have been further enhanced when he captained his side to an Olympic gold medal at Rio 2016.

15000 supporters turned up to the training session as Brazil prepared for their World Cup 2018 qualifier against Columbia and some clearly could not contain themselves.

Having had a nightmare semi-final humiliation to Germany in the last World Cup that Neymar missed due to a broken back the 5 time World champions will be looking to hit the heights as the World's best in Russia.

Barcelona would have been wincing when the video emerged of the pitch invaders as the campaign really starts to heat up after the international break as Champions League action returns.

Having emerged unscathed the Brazilian goal machine will be looking to have another ineradicable season as he will  team up with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez to add to the already impressive trophy haul.
