Neymar made his debut in the FC Barcelona jersey on Tuesday, playing ten minutes in a friendly against Lechia Gdansk from Poland. The Brazilian prodigy expressed his excitement, stating, “Even if it’s only a friendly, I’m making a dream come true,” referring to his first appearance for the club since winning the Confederations Cup with Brazil.
Returning from vacation on July 29, Neymar acknowledged the need for some time to adapt, saying, “I think I need a little more time to be at the top of my game. I didn’t talk much with Tata Martino, but he gave me all his confidence.”
The match did not feature both virtuosos, Neymar and Messi, on the field together, but Neymar expressed his delight about the prospect: “Messi? He’s a great player, an idol for me, and I’m very happy to be lined up next to him. I only think about helping the team. It’s a real honor to play for this club.” The football world eagerly awaits the collaboration between Neymar and Messi, anticipating the dynamic duo’s impact on the field.
