Neymar delighted with Barca affection

Neymar has admitted his delight at the affection Barcelona fans have shown since his arrival last year.

The Brazil international enjoyed and endured a mix time during his first season as a Blaugrana player.

But the young forward has insisted that he is raring to go with the new season kicking off in two and a half weeks.

"I'm delighted with the affection of Barca fans, they are around the world, in countries that I never expected,” he told the club’s official website.

“It makes me hugely happy. I love much of what I do, which is playing football.

“For me there is a great pride in being part of the history of Barcelona – one of the biggest clubs that exists in the world.

“I have the pleasure of wearing the Barca shirt and play with team-mates whom I am a fan of and whom I admire very much.”
