Neymar honest: I don't regret anything in my career, I chose Barcelona with

In an exhaustive interview with Brazilian football legend Romario, Neymar Jr., the 32-year-old Brazilian star openly shared his thoughts on his career, from his beginnings at Santos to Barcelona, ​​his move to PSG and then his transfer to Saudi Arabia to Al Hilal.

"I have no regrets in my career. All the mistakes I've made, whether in my career or in my life, were to help me grow and mature, so I don't regret anything," said the Brazilian national team star, who is targeting the 2026 World Cup.

An important moment of the conversation with Romario was the focus on the choice between Barcelona and Real Madrid: "I don't regret choosing Barcelona over Real Madrid. I listened to my heart in that decision.

The reason? Of course I wanted to play with Messi. Barça was the team I loved.

"I always followed it, since the time of Ronaldinho, and I always said: I want to play there. And fortunately that's what happened," Neymar said with conviction.

He also recalled the hot days and the competition between the two Spanish giants to take him from Santos: "Those days were very intense. There were 2-3 days where I wasn't training at all, I was just going from home to the office to sort out the situation.

Real Madrid executives were calling me on one side, Barcelona executives on the other.

"Both presidents spoke to me. I couldn't rationalize, I imagined myself playing for both teams... But then my heart spoke louder. In the end I chose Barcelona."
