Tottenham star Ivan Perisic’s son runs to console tearful Neymar after Croatia knock Brazil out of 2022 World Cup on penalties
This World Cup hasn't been short of amazing moments, but Ivan Perisic's son consoling Neymar will certainly be one of the most wholesome.
The Paris Saint-Germain superstar was in tears after five-time world champions Brazil were eliminated by Croatia in the quarter-finals.
But he soon had a smile on his face again as his opponent's son ran to give him a hug.
Perisic had already comforted Neymar after Croatia secured their place in the semi-finals by beating the Selecao on penalties.
And his son, Leo, followed his example.
The youngster entered the pitch after the final whistle and ran to where Neymar was stood with his other stunned teammates.
At first Neymar had his back to him, but Leo then pats him on the shoulder to get his attention.
Perisic's son then appears to give him some words of comfort, leading the pair to embrace in a wholesome exchange.
Neymar ruffles Leo's hair, before the youngster runs back off the pitch and the Brazil star walks to join the rest of his team.
