Neymar Comments on MSN Relationship After Cristiano Ronaldo Dismissed Importance

Neymar has insisted his friendship with Barcelona team-mates Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez plays a "big part" in their success on the pitch following Cristiano Ronaldo's dismissal of the importance of off-field relationships within squads.

The Real Madrid superstar recently said he did "not need little kisses and hugs" or to invite the likes of Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale to his house in order for them to play well together, per Goal's Tom Webber.

However, Neymar believes his relationship with Suarez and Messi is part of what has made them such a devastating attacking trio at the Camp Nou, per John Cross in the Mirror:

Barcelona is about so much more than myself, Leo, and Luis, but of course I love the relationship we have.
