Zidane"Real Madrid will have to suffer against PSG

There are many who accused Neymar of chasing the cash when he chose to leave Barcelona to join Paris Saint-Germain last summer.

Many concerns were raised over the summer when Barcelona was forced into a record-breaking transfer deal once the release clause of their Brazilian forward was met. Neymar departing for Paris Saint-Germain was seen as a great loss for Barcelona.

In the same week that PSG crashed out of the Champions League, and only seven months after he joined the club for a world record 222million euros ($264 million), Neymar´s future has grown uncertain.

Real won the match 2-1 for a 5-2 aggregate success which earned them a place in the quarter-finals.

They claim that he moved to PSG to step out of Lionel Messi's shadow, however he now regrets this decision and wants to know "what it will take" to secure a move back to the Nou Camp.

However, reports must have surely suggested that Neymar is plotting a move back to Spain.

Barcelona have not yet decided how to respond to the request of Neymar on the return. "We don't know where it's come from or where it's going to end".

Neymar has been fantastic for PSG. "I'm not going to talk about a player that is not mine", Zidane said, via ESPN. He is part of a squad full of good players.
