Ivan Perisic has comforted Neymar after the result
Like father like son, Perisic's son also made an effort to console the Brazil star
While still on the pitch, Perisic's son was filmed running over to the PSG star.
The pair could be seen shaking hands and sharing a brief hug as a show of respect between the player and the child.
Afterwards, Perisic's son then ran off to join his dad in the celebrations.
The video was shared on Twitter and fans loved the touching moment between the two.
One tweeted: "So adorable, from both him and Neymar, who despite his sadness took the time to really acknowledge and appreciate his gesture."
A second commented: "Neymar needed that.
"It's the lowest moment of his career despite that wonder goal."
A third wrote: "Classy young fellow. Good of Neymar to greet him too."

A fourth said: "Football is more beautiful with moments like this."
Neymar had thought that he had done enough to get his side into the semi-finals with his goal in the 106th minute.
But Croatia managed to find a way back into the game as Bruno Petkovic's deflected strike flew past Alisson.
The game was then decided on penalties, and Croatia, fresh off their last shootout win, were composed and clinical, whereas Brazil were not.
And talisman Neymar didn't even take a penalty.
Neymar was selected as Brazil's fifth penalty taker and did not even get the opportunity to take one as Croatia won 4-2 on penalties.
Croatia will now face either Argentina or the Netherlands in the semi-finals of the World Cup.
