PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN hitman Neymar appeared to try and KISS Yerry Mina during Brazil’s World Cup qualifier with Colombia on Sunday night.
The Samba Boys’ perfect start to their qualifying campaign came to an end last night as they were held to a 0-0 draw in Barranquilla.
But the game will be remembered for a bizarre interaction between Neymar and Mina.
Following a meaty coming together which left both men on the floor, a frustrated Mina went over to the former Barcelona star to exchange words.
Neymar didn’t take kindly to Mina’s aggression, standing up and moving his face to the Everton defender’s.
And he then puckered up and tried to lay a smacker on the burly centre-back.
The kiss, however, didn’t make contact with Mina, who promptly walked away from the angry forward.
Neymar, 29, was so riled up he then proceeded to commit a pointless foul on full-back Stefan Medina.

Footy fans were quick to react, with one saying: “Bromance between Neymar Jr. and Yerry Mina.”
Another said: “I feel like Neymar and Mina will be really good friends off the pitch tbh.”
And another said: “Everyone wants a piece of Mina.”
Neymar had a game to forget against the Colombians, misplacing 17 passes and losing the ball a whopping 30 times.
Brazil coach Tite said of the striker: “He is an exceptional player because he makes exceptional plays, he does it exceptionally and not ordinarily.
“He is a special player, we know it. And he was also well marked, sometimes by two players.”
The stalemate at the Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Melendez was the first blemish of Brazil’s qualifying campaign for Qatar 2022, although they’re still well on course to make the tournament.
And Neymar expects next winter’s World Cup to be his last.
He said: “I think it (2022) will be my last World Cup.
“I am facing it like the last World Cup because I don’t know whether I will be able to, mentally, to endure more soccer.
“I will do everything possible to get there very well. I will do all I can to win it with my country and realise my dream, the biggest since my boyhood.”
