Neymar speaks about 'MSN' relationship

Barcelona forward Neymar reveals that 'he always knew' that he would have a good relationship with both Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

Barcelona forward Neymar has revealed that he shares a close relationship with club teammates Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi.

The 'MSN' scored 122 goals between them last season as the Catalan club won La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.

Before Neymar and Suarez joined the Spanish giants, it had been claimed that Messi's presence as the leading man would lead to conflict in the squad.

However, Neymar has said that 'he always knew' that the trio would have a good relationship both on and off the field.

"Some said we wouldn't get along well, but I knew they were wrong," Neymar told the official Barcelona website.

"I think we surprised everyone. Before I came to Barcelona, they said I would be fighting with Leo and with other players as well. I knew that was not going to happen because those sort of things don't affect me.

"Messi has helped me a lot since I joined Barcelona. And we have a friendship both on and off the pitch with Suarez. We are really happy with how things are going on the pitch."

Neymar has scored 58 times in 100 games for Barcelona since joining from Santos in the summer of 2013.
