Lack of goals frustrating – Neymar

Barcelona forward Neymar has admitted he is frustrated by his lack of goals this campaign but he is not hit by a lack of confidence.

The Brazilian has found the net only nine times this campaign despite hitting 70 goals across the past two previous seasons.

However, Neymar – who celebrated his 25th birthday on Sunday – has assisted 17 goals this campaign, including a competition-high seven in the Champions League.

"It's difficult when you're not scoring, especially when you're a forward, where the expectations are higher," he said in an interview with Red Bull.

"So, yes, it's bad, it's annoying, but it's not my biggest worry. I concentrate on winning matches; it doesn't matter if it's me or a teammate that scores.

"Whenever the game is won then I worry about scoring and ending my jinx – but no, I'm not concerned!"
