NEYMAR broke down in tears as he was walked into an exact replica of the house he grew up in during his childhood in Brazil.

The football star, 26, was left utterly overwhelmed, being comforted by mum Nadine after being surprised with the like-for-like remake of his old bedroom in San Vicente, Sao Paolo.

The stunt was part of a TV show – Caldeirao do Huck – filmed while the Brazilian ace recovered from his foot injury.

As Neymar is taken into the “set”, he immediately bursts into tears, turning to his mum for comfort.

On the stunt, Nadine claimed: “He looked at me and asked, ‘Why Mum?’… I didn’t know how to answer him.”

Meanwhile, Neymar took to Instagram to thank the show’s presenter, Luciano Huck.

During the day, Neymar takes a look around at his old childhood items, including trophies and clothes.

Not long after being introduced to his “old home”, girlfriend Bruna Marquezine and sister Rafaella join Neymar.
