Neymar: "I went to PSG to make French league the best
Tunnel footage of the buildup to England's 0-0 draw with Brazil on Tuesday night could hold the answer to why Neymar swapped Barcelona for PSG in the summer.
The Brazilian star shocked the football world by completing a sensational £198m move to the Ligue 1 giants, smashing the transfer record in the process.
The reasons behind Neymar's move have been shrouded in mystery since, with reports in the European press last week claiming he was already unhappy at the club.
But few would suspect an innocent conversation with a couple of young England mascots in the Wembley tunnel would give the world the answer it longs for.
When one of them asks the 25-year-old why he swapped Barcelona for Paris in July, he replied: 'To make the French league the best', according to the Daily mirror.
Despite scoring 11 goals in only 12 games since moving to France, Neymar was unable to help his team-mates past a stubborn England side.
