Neymar gives his Barcelona shirt to amazed Sporting Gijon fan

NEYMAR may have helped Barcelona batter Sporting Gijon 5-0 - but their fans still love him.

The Brazil superstar scored twice at El Molinon after Luis Suarez, Rafinha and Arda Turan began the La Liga rout.

And after the game, Neymar made his way over to a section of the home fans and handed his shirt to one adoring supporter.

The Gijon fan was amazed as he hugged the 24-year-old striker after the full-time whistle.

The selfless supporter then gave the jersey to a pal in the stand, who could not contain himself as he broke down in tears.

Neymar's heartwarming gesture would have softened the blow of defeat for the Gijon faithful.
