Barcelona attacker Neymar has insisted that he will not change his style of football despite criticism over his perceived showboating.

Neymar was widely criticised for his conduct during the latter stages of the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao last weekend, with the Bilbao players claiming that the forward lacked respect.

However, the Brazilian has insisted that he will not alter his playing style and has said that it is just 'how he plays' the game.

"It's football and how I play," Neymar told reporters. "Just because others don't like it doesn't mean I'm going to change. I'll be like this forever."

Neymar is currently with his Barcelona teammates in Berlin ahead of Saturday's Champions League final against Juventus.
