Paris Saint-Germain star forward, Neymar,
has insisted he is not obsessed with winning
his first Ballon d’Or prize.
The Brazilian, who cost the Ligue 1 giants a
princely €222million last month, says teams’
trophies are more important to him.
Neymar’s move away from Barcelona, was
considered by many as desire to escape Lionel
Messi’s shadow and fight for football’s top
individual gongs.
The 25-year-old has taken his tally to five
goals and five assists in as many games,
after inspiring PSG to a 5-0 thrashing of
Celtic on Tuesday.
“Of course a football player wants to win the
Ballon d’Or,” he said after the Champions
League win in Glasgow.
“But I don’t have to think about it. I have to
think about what’s better for our group, our
club.
“This is a great team and, if we keep going
like this, we have a big chance of doing it
[winning the tournament]. “I’m very happy
to start with a win. Of course, it’s not only
about getting goals, but that’s the most
important.”
