“I had a great time in Paris. It was fun. I got together a lot with Leo Paredes, with Angel Di Maria, with Leo Messi – also because our partners got along well and we got together a lot, we ate, we laughed.
“Neymar is also a super cheerful boy, a phenomenon, and Marco [Verratti] – there is not a person in the world who speaks ill of him as a footballer and as a guy.
“There is enormous respect for Leo. He has the respect of everyone because Leo is something else, he is unique in history, a guy who has seven Ballon d’Ors. The way he behaves, the respect with which he treats everybody at the club, crazy.”
