After sustaining an injury during the match between Barcelona and Betis Seville, Lionel Messi, the Argentine star, has been compelled to withdraw from the field for the remainder of the year. This setback is not only a significant blow to his club but also impacts Brazilian player Neymar, who expressed his disappointment.
“It is impossible for me not to be saddened after seeing his perceptible sadness after suffering another injury, just when I arrived at Barça. My dream was to play next to Messi to eventually form a ‘super-duo’ over time, and not to have to take on the offensive power of a Barcelona team full of other stars so quickly,” revealed the Brazilian international in comments relayed by Marca.
Neymar, who signed with FC Barcelona last May for a transfer fee of 57 million euros and an annual net salary of 7 million euros, shares his disappointment over the missed opportunity to establish a formidable partnership with Messi due to the untimely injury.
