Neymar relishing Real clash

"It's an early present" Neymar said, speaking about scoring 350 career goals. "I'm very happy to have reached this mark at 25, almost 26 years old. But the victory is more important than my goal. My congratulations go to the team, we knew it would be very difficult to play here, against a team with a lot of skills. We go home with the win, that's the most important."

But there is still one goal that eludes him: "I still haven't scored a bicycle kick!"

Neymar has played in Lille before on international duty against Japan, so he was surprised to see the roof closed as well. "I talked about it with Dani Alves when we arrived, because when we came with Brazil, it wasn't the case. I liked it alot, even if it could have been a bit warmer! But it's a great stadium," he clarified. 

Thoughts then turned to the encounter with Real Madrid. "I can't wait," the Brazillian claimed. "Every day we work very hard for this match, I'm really looking forward to it. I'm telling the truth, I hope it comes round very quickly. We are going to play a quality team, a very big club. We're enjoying getting ready for the tie. We are going to respect Madrid, prepare in the best way possible and try to win."
