And Lira said: “Messi was injured and Cristiano Ronaldo is not in his best moment. Neymar”
Goal.com notes that Lira has links to Barcelona’s Brazilian contingent through his childhood friend Douglas.
“Douglas is my friend since we were kids. I’ve known him since I was 10, in a moment in which he was very, very poor and very humble,” he added.
