Neymar has been in sublime form this season, scoring 8 goals in his last 6 matches for Luis Enrique’s side, but says he doesn’t think about winning the Ballon d’Or this year.

Barcelona takes on rivals Real Madrid in the El Clásico after the international break, and the 23-year-old compared the fixture with Brazil against Argentina. Neymar also remembered the goal he scored against Real Madrid at Camp Nou in 2013. He said: “For me the important thing is to win titles. The Ballon d’Or is always between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, players from another planet. I don’t pay attention to this things, I want to help my partners.”

He added: “It was a great moment [to score in El Clásico]. I always dreamed about a moment like this. It was one of the happiest days in my life. Brazil against Argentina is very similar to Barcelona against Real Madrid. It’s going to be a very difficult game.”
