Neymar denies the impact of Messi's famous photo in PSG move

It may have been Neymar who led Barcelona past Paris Saint-Germain in their famous 6-1 Champions League victory last season, but Lionel Messi towering over the Catalan fans stole the headlines.

The fact that such an image came to symbolise a game in which the Argentine superstar had, generally speaking, an off day, has been said by some to have pushed Neymar out the exit door.

Messi's overall dominance of the limelight at the Camp Nou is one reason suggested to explain the Brazilian's move to PSG, although he dismissed the notion at his unveiling.

"I do not want to be the only star, I wanted to come to Paris because I wanted something different, a new challenge," Neymar stated. "Not because I did not feel valued.

"I have not come here for a more prominent role for myself. What PSG deserve is for me to give everything for the badge."
