Survived by a miracle?
Neymar's private jet was forced to make an emergency landing on Tuesday morning at an airport in the northern Brazilian city of Boa Vista.
The star of Paris Saint-Germain and the Brazilian national team was on board the plane, model Cessna 680 Citation, which traveled to Sao Paulo from Las Vegas.
Neymar left Las Vegas on Monday afternoon and the plane made several stops, first in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, then Barbados, before traveling to Brazil.
The emergency landing was due to technical problems and everyone who was on board came out unscathed.
Later on Tuesday, Neymar's agency issued a statement saying: "Due to a small problem in the windshield wiper of the NR Sports aircraft, in which the athlete Neymar Jr., his sister Rafaela Santos and Bruna Biancardi traveled, the pilot decided, as a precaution, to make an early landing on Tuesday. "We want to say that all passengers are fine and waiting for the voyage to continue."

Neymar himself said in an Instagram video: "I just stop here to thank you all for your posts and say that everything is fine, we are already on our way home, it was just scary, everyone is fine here and we are together."
Meanwhile, reports in France claim that Neymar may leave the City of Lights if a satisfactory offer reaches the luxury club.
Juventus have been mentioned as candidates to take on the Brazilian on loan, but his high salary has apparently taken the old lady off the matter.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
