Man carrying Bibles breaks into PSG star Neymar's home

A man picked a peculiar and frightening way to attempt to discuss religion with Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar. 

Per Julien Laurens of ESPN, a man carrying a backpack filled with Bibles climbed over a wall to break in to Neymar's property located in La Celle-Saint-Cloud, in the western suburbs of Paris, early Sunday morning. Laurens explained the 26-year-old male, who was eventually arrested and taken to a psychiatric hospital after he managed to make his way only into the garden of the property, told authorities he wanted to speak with Neymar about religion and had no intention of stealing anything. He was unarmed at the time he was apprehended. 

Back in March, PSG forward Angel Di Maria's flat and a home belonging to the father of fellow Neymar teammate Marquinhos were robbed in the same night. Since then, the club has been paying for security at the homes of players. 

Heading into the final matchday of the 2020-21 Ligue 1 campaign, PSG are in second place but only one point behind Lille in the title race. Lille will be away to midtable contender Angers (12th) on Sunday, while Les Parisiens will face relegation candidate Brest (16th but only one point clear of the relegation playoff) at the same time.
