WHY WOULD NEYMAR LEAVE BARCELONA?

This is a huge question that only the player or those really close to him can answer.


Why would Neymar leave the successful Barcelona team where he is celebrated and well paid? After their 4-0 defeat in the first leg in the hands of Paris St Germain, many thought the Spanish side would be knocked out. However, Neymar almost singlehandedly restored parity before Barca pulled the greatest comeback ever in European football.

Neymar grabbed a brace and one assist in seven minutes to put the Blaugrana on a sound footing to move past the French soccer giants.Lionel Messi scored a penalty that Neymar was fouled for before the team tipped the game in their favour. Neymar was praised as much as many other members in the team like Luis Suarez. However, Messi was named the hero of the night. It is obvious that Neymar needed his own turf, where he could run riot and his praises be sung.

MOURINHO QUIET ON GRIEZMANN MOVE

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho seems to have quieted on the purported move of Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann.


The striker was a reported top target for Mourinho considering that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is out injured and developmental projects in Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford were not yet suitable for the role solely.

Mourinho avoided being drawn into the issue as the team cruised to the Europa League title after defeating Ajax. Griezmann earlier has odds of 6/10 at moving to Old Trafford this summer but everything seems to have suddenly cooled down. Atletico’s appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) against a FIFA-sanctioned transfer ban is believed to play a part.

“I do not want to talk about Griezmann because that would be disrespectful to his club, Atletico. Just how I do not like others talking about my players, I’m not going to talk about Antoine either,” Mourinho fired when asked about the French star.

Isco blasts the media for the Barcelona rumor

In this season of the Spanish League La Liga, Real Madrid’s Isco has seen less time on the pitch with the first team than some seasons before.


The head coach of Real Madrid ZinedineZidane has turned Isco into an off and on player instead of the regular starter that he used to be.

This sudden lack of playing time is one of the things that has sparked an ongoing rumor involving Isco and a potential transfer to Barcelona which is a far-fetched rumor to believe in the first place to believe as why would Real Madrid sell one of their highest-rated young talents to their rivals?

The rumors have been spread so much that Isco has recently had to come out and shut down all of those claims as the 24 year old midfielder said: “We are exposed to this all the time, to everything, rumors and all, so we’re used to it. Now that there’s little football going on people have to make rumors up, I don’t know why. I only talk on the field and I try to do my best for the team.

Lionel Messi to miss International Football

Those who had been visualising Lionel Messi in the Sky Blues’ shirts will have to come out of their dreams as there have been signs dropped by the family of the Argentina international that he is likely to go ahead with his Barca career only.


It is understood that Messi’s dad has conveyed to some of his acquaintances in the Spanish media that he has been in touch with the chairman of Barca himself and has already had discussions with him over the various aspects of the new contract.

But, the thing is that he is presently out of the country and there are only so many points that can be discussed through a telephone call. So, it’s just a matter of him arriving back home and having a face to face conversation with the chairman before there is an official announcement of the extension.

Barcelona has nobody, but, its own officials to blame for fuelling different kinds of rumours about Messi because it’s only them who, through their statements, had been hinting that the club couldn’t just give the striker whatever he was going to demand.

Luis Enrique Disappointed with Malaga’s Tactics in the 0-0 Draw

Barcelona’s poor form continued after the team were involved in a 0-0 draw with Malaga at home.


This result means that the club has now only managed two wins in the last five games. Coupled with the brilliant form shown by Real Madrid in the last few weeks, Barcelona have fallen four points behind the table leaders. Manager Luis Enrique was extremely disappointed with Malaga’s tactics in this La Liga match. He pointed out to the fact that Malaga had 10 men in the box so as to prevent any clear-cut opportunities for the home team.

It was also interesting that Barcelona were without two of their main superstars – Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. In the absence of these two players, Neymar was seen as the key player who could get the goals for the team. Despite enjoying a whopping 82% possession, the team were unable to find a way past the stubborn defence.
