Brazilian superstar suffered accident while driving his Ferrari to airport with club officials having to come and pick him up
NEYMAR risked missing his flight to San Sebastian after crashing his Ferrari — and had to be rescued by Barcelona staff.
The reigning La Liga champions face Real Sociedad today, hoping to notch a first win away at the Basque side in nine years.
And they will be reliant on the Brazilian if they are to end their dreadful record.
Neymar was en route to the airport to meet up with the rest of his team-mates when he crashed his Ferrari Spider — and destroyed most of the left side of the car.
Despite the mental trauma of the accident, Catalan daily Sport report the 24-year-old is still ready to take to the pitch tonight.
It has been a difficult period for the former Santos ace with a potential two-year jail sentence looming over his head — and six-game goal drought.
A recent stalemate at home against Malaga, coupled with back-to-back wins for Real Madrid has seen Barcelona slip seven points behind the La Liga leaders.
However, victory at Anoeta tonight would cut the gap to four points with a meeting of the top two at the Nou Camp on Saturday.
Last season, Real Madrid stunned the hosts to win 2-1 and launch a title challenge which they maintained until the final day of the season.
