“Calm Down, We’re Here to Help You” – Messi Helps Neymar Through Tough Start at Barcelona
Neymar Jr has revealed how Lionel Messi played a key role in helping him adjust to life at Barcelona during his early days at the club.
The Brazilian forward made a name for himself with Santos, where he debuted in 2009 and helped the team win the Copa Libertadores in 2011.
In 2013, Neymar made the high-profile move to Barcelona, joining forces with Messi and Luis Suárez to form one of the most deadly attacking trios in football history—MSN.
“I spent the first six months at Barça with butterflies in my stomach,” Neymar confessed in a conversation with Brazilian football legend Romário. “I couldn’t dribble anyone, couldn’t get past anyone, I felt like I was doing everything wrong.”
He recalled a particularly tough match against Athletic Bilbao, where he was so frustrated with his performance that he locked himself in the washroom during halftime, fighting back tears. But that’s when Messi stepped in.
“Neymar, why are you crying?” Messi asked him. Neymar tried to brush it off, saying he was fine, but Messi, along with Dani Alves, reassured him.
“Calm down, we’re here to help you. We want you to play like you did at Santos, without any pressure. If you need anything, you can count on me.
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League this season.
The club had been leading the title race but suffered two consecutive losses, shaking fans’ confidence and raising doubts about their consistency.
Carragher admitted that while Arsenal have been impressive overall, the recent losses were disappointing.
“It was a big result for Arsenal but it wasn’t a great performance. The real question is: if they play like that for the rest of the season, will they win the league? We’ll see.”
