Neymar Speaks out on Barcelona Substitution Row, Hails Luis Suarez After PSG Win

Nick AkermanApr 15, 2015

Barcelona forward Neymar is over his substitution during the 2-2 draw with Sevilla, a decision which appeared to frustrate him during the April 11 La Liga fixture.

He spoke after opening the scoring in Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first-leg tie against Paris Saint-Germain, a match Barca dominated 3-1 at the Parc des Princes.

As such, Neymar is no longer thinking about Luis Enrique's decision to pull him from the previous fixture, reported by Sport: "I always want to play, I like being on the pitch, what happened has happened (in Seville), what is important is the great game we played today," said Neymar.

The aforementioned incident, which saw Neymar gesture out of annoyance, can be viewed below:

Neymar sent Barca on their way with a cool finish beyond Salvatore Sirigu against PSG, a goal resulting from the first of many moments in which Enrique's men tore through the opposition's defence.

The main plaudits would be saved for Luis Suarez, however, who delivered two stunning goals—embarrassing David Luiz in the process—to put Barca on the brink of this year's semi-finals. You can see all the goals below:

Neymar praised his team-mate after the match, saying: "Suarez has played phenomenally," per Sport. "But so has everyone else on the team. We are really happy with the result."

The Football Funnys Twitter account focused on Suarez's tremendous nutmegging ability:

Queens Park Rangers defender Rio Ferdinand focused on Suarez's hard-work for the team in his praise of the striker:

Former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher, who played with Suarez at Anfield, invited his old colleague back to England, per Sky Sports:

B/R UK's Sam Tighe previously discussed why Neymar, Suarez and Lionel Messi represent one of the world's greatest attacking lineups:

Barca played some incredible football on Wednesday night, particularly in PSG's half. The passing was rapid and full of intent, leaving Laurent Blanc's side with little hope once Thiago Silva had departed through injury. Enrique will be looking at this match as the perfect response to drawing with Sevilla just a few days before.

The job is yet to be completed, however. Neymar, Suarez and Messi are on the verge of delivering this season's La Liga title and will be crucial to success in Europe. Right now, few would bet against Barca winning both.
