Neymar has been hailed for treating two of his Barcelona team mates in impressive fashion ahead of a crucial World Cup qualifier this week.
Brazil host Argentina in Belo Horizonte on Thursday in the former’s first game in the same stadium they lost 7-1 to Germany at the last World Cup.
Whilst Brazil lead South America World Cup qualification, Argentina are currently sixth – a full five points behind their great rivals.
On Tuesday it has emerged that Neymar took Barcelona team mates Leo Messi and Javier Mascherano on his private jet to Belo Horizonte.
Brazil v Argentina All three Barcelona stars were involved in the excellent 2-1 win at Sevilla on Sunday evening and thanks to Neymar’s generosity did not have to leave on a flight for Brazil in the early hours of Monday morning.
The Barcelona trio flew directly from Barcelona to Sao Paulo with Messi and Neymar the last to arrive of the Argentine squad.
Neymar was the penultimate Brazilian to arrive amongst Tite’s squad. Zenit midfielder Giuliano was the last to arrive.
Once Neymar arrived at the Brazil training camp he gave blood so that the technical team can assess his ability to play in the upcoming matches against Argentina and Peru.
A picture emerged from one of the pilots of the plane, showing Messi, Mascherano and Neymar. See above.
Presumably, ahead of such a big game between the south American rivals, the likes of Messi and Neymar were not so keen to put pictures up of their travel arrangements on social media.
