Barcelona star Neymar Jr has admitted that he does not enjoy watching football matches if he is not on the pitch playing for his side.
Neymar 23, who has found the back of the net a total of eight times in his last six games this season, has inspired his side to the top of the La Liga table despite Lionel Messi’s absence after the sensational forward was sidelined with an injury.
Despite winning a treble last season at Camp Nou, the Brazilian international has maintained that he is hungry for more titles and that he is only focused on helping his side work as a unit to win more cups.
“I don’t like to watch football games when I’m not playing for Barcelona,” he told BeIN Sports.
“I don’t watch Real Madrid games. I don’t like to watch other teams. I can’t opine about something I don’t see.”
After bulging the net twice in his latest goal hunting escapes in the Champions League where he side thrashed BATE 3-0 in the midweek (November 4) crunch, Neymar has sidelined his chances of winning the prestigious Ballon d’ Or accolade.
“For me the important thing is to win titles. The Ballon d’Or is always between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, players from another planet.” He added.
“I don’t pay attention to this things, I want to help to my partners.”
Neymar, whose side is currently level in points with long rivals Real Madrid at the helm of the La Liga table, also underscored that his first goal against Madrid was the happiest day of his career.
“It was a great moment. I always dreamed about a moment like this. It was one of the happiest days in my life,” he said.
“Brazil – Argentina is very similar to a Barcelona – Real Madrid. It’s going to be a very difficult game,
“This is my best year, I’m playing the way I like, I’m very happy. I feel like I’m at home. My first year was to learn, the second was better.
“I always loved the way Barcelona play and the players. I adapt to their play. Luis Suarez and I have to run to find space to receive passes from these great players.
“I don’t know if we (Neymar, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi) are the best, but we have great players. I hope we can be in our best form for many years.”
After the international break, on November 22, Barcelona and Real Madrid renew their rivalry in the El Classico derby.

Defending champions Nigeria and impressive outsiders Mali overcame Mexico and Belgium respectively in the semi-finals of the FIFA U-17 World Cup Chile 2015 to set up an all-Africa final scheduled for Sunday, November 8th 2015.
In just their fourth appearance at this level, Les Aiglonnets have achieved a feat that no other Malian national side at any age category has ever managed – progressing to the showpiece match of a FIFA-run tournament.
They were made to work hard for their reward, however, as the Belgians went toe-to-toe with them for large portions of the match. Lady Luck also played her part in the Africans’ victory, when a seemingly harmless long ball bamboozled the Belgian goalkeeper and allowed them to take a 2-1 lead.
Nigeria, meanwhile, booked themselves a place in the final for an astonishing eighth time in 11 attempts. Like Mali, Emmanuel Amuneke’s men were tested to the limit by an entertaining Mexico team, and in the process both sides produced what is likely to be regarded as the game of the tournament to date.
Indeed, the clash had just about everything, including tit-for-tat scoring, six goals, three of which had fans leaping off their seats, and intense emotions until the very last kick of the ball.
In winning all their eight matches so far, Nigeria have set a remarkable new record in U-17 World Cup semi-finals following their victory over El Tri at Chile 2015. In doing so, they also brought their opponents’ run of three previous semi-final triumphs (in three attempts) to an abrupt halt.
The last time that two teams from the same confederation played in the U-17 World Cup final is 22 years ago when, at Japan 1993, the finalists were both from Africa too, and Nigeria was also involved. For the record, the Golden Eaglets emerged victorious from their clash with Ghana, claiming the first of their four global titles at this level.
All the weekend matches will be broadcasted live on StarTimes with the Sunday playoff fixture pitting Belgium and Mexico will kick off at 7pm on Sports Arena while the final between Mali and Nigeria will start at10pm on World Football.

Borrusia Dortmund’s Marco Reus makes a comeback to the team ahead of the first Revierderby of the season as Dortmund take on FC Schalke 04 on Sunday November 8.
Reus was on hand to lash in two goals and lead his team to a 3-1 victory over SV Werder Bremen. It was the extension of a fine run of form for both the 26 year-old and his club as the crunch clash with Schalke approaches.
After a four game winless run which ended with their humiliating defeat to FC Bayern München at the beginning of October, Dortmund have rediscovered their form as autumn has drawn on; winning all of their last five in all competitions – all of them by a margin of at least two goals.
The club’s greatest weapon at the moment is the partnership between Reus and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is on delicious form, having delivered seven goals and two hat-tricks in October.
The Gabon international, who became the first player in BVB history to score 13 goals after 10 league matches this season, has hauled himself to the top of the Bundesliga goal-scoring chart alongside FC Bayern München’s Robert Lewandowski and is eager to continue his rich vein of form in November, starting with this derby.
If victory over Bremen showed anything, it was that Reus steps up when Aubameyang is misfiring. The German international game-changing goals came just as the Gabonese had squandered several opportunities, a rarity in recent weeks.
Reus and Aubameyang complement each other wonderfully, their versatility adding fluidity to Dortmund’s attack. Ahead of the derby against Schalke, however, it is Reus, more than anyone else, who is in the spotlight.
After his fourth goal of the season helped FC Schalke 04 salvage a point at home to FC Ingolstadt 04 last week, Leroy Sane is looking forward to his first ever derby.
With Schalke going in to the game six points behind their great rivals, the Royal Blues will be battling to stay in the race for the Champions League spots as well as local pride.
This, after all, is Germany’s fiercest and most iconic local rivalry. Both Dortmund and Schalke hail from cities in North – Rhine Westphalia, the heartland of both Germany’s industrial and footballing tradition.
On Saturday (November 7), defending champions Bayern Munich, who are momentarily tripped following their draw last week, hope to return to winning form at the Allianz Arena against hard-fighting Stuttgart.
The Bavarians were held to a disappointing goalless draw by Eintracht Frankfurt last Matchday in a game where the opponents executed their defensive strategy flawlessly against the league leaders, who had won 10 matches in a row.
Pep Guardiola’s squad, still comfortably ahead by five points from second-running Borussia Dortmund on the log, should be comfortable against lowly Stuttgart, who in beating newly-promoted club SV Darmstadt 98, 2-0, at the Mercedes-Benz Arena last Sunday, recorded only their third win of the season.
The Bundesliga matches will be live on World Football on StarTimes, who bring you eight fixtures in total from Germany’s best football league.

K’Ogalo adds annother silver ware to their cabinet. Photo: Stafford Ondego
Unstoppable Gor Mahia’s quench for a treble this year took a distinctive direction on November 7 after coming from a goal down to snatch a late 2-1 triumph over a stubborn Sony Sugar to be crowned the Kenya Premier League (KPL) Top 8 Knock-out tournament champions in a match played at Moi Stadium, Kisumu.
Barely a week after being handed their fifteenth KPL trophy, mighty Gor Mahia, who are currently enjoying imperious form, adds yet another trophy in their cabinet while still in contention of the GoTv Shield Cup.
After beating Sofapaka 3-1 and 5-3 on aggregate on Wednesday in Nairobi, Sony secured their maiden spot in the finals of tournament which was won by Tusker FC last year.
Meddie Kagere scored a brace to inspire the win for the three time SPL champions while Andrew Ssekayombya was on target for Sony.
K’Ogalo came in the game as bookmaker’s favorites having made their intentions of winning clear in the opening moments of the game when Collins ‘Gatuso’Okoth tested keeper Owiny on Sony’s goal with a thunderous shot that was punched out for a fruitless corner.
Ugandan import Andrew Ssekayombya grabbed the 10th minute lead for Sony when the forward scored from a fine bicycle kick within the area after a poor clearance from defender Harun Shakava.
The KPL champions then retaliated in search for a leveler but efforts of Michael Olunga were unrewarded after the prolific striker failed to capitalize on a clear chances.
After the breather, it was a one traffic direction as the Frank Nuttall charges piled the pressure on the opponents by setting camp at their goal, launching attack after attack but custodian Allan Owiny stood tall between the sticks.
However, the elusive chance for the Green Army came in the 77th minute when goal-thirsty Meddie Kagere, headed home a set piece by dead ball specialist Ali Abondo to send the vociferous fans into a thunderous cheer as the Burundian cancelled out Ssekayombya goal to offer a glimmer of hope for his side.
The Awendo based outfit, who proved stubborn than a sulky teenager suffering adolescence, had an uphill task to break the stalemate as K’Ogalo were brimmed with confidence and incision after the restart with Kagere again coming close but his efforts never materialized.
With the score line at 1-1 at the final whistle, the match was forced into extra time where coach Frank Nuttal introduced George ‘Blackberry’ Odhiambo who came in for Innocent Wafula.
Despite an insipid full time,the Salim Babu coached side who did well to deny their opponents an easy win, could not hide the chagrin after the referee handed Gor a penalty when Samuel Olare handed the ball in the forbidden area. Kagere then converted from the spot kick easily with just five minutes to spare to hand his side the victory.
Gor will now shift focus to the GoTv Shield tournament where they have a date with Administration Police in the quarter finals.
