What a difference 32 months makes.
Joey Barton is redefining the term “proven wrong” as Barcelona forward Neymar has quickly developed into one of the greatest players in the world.
Over two years ago, the outspoken Burnley midfielder explained how he didn’t rate the Brazilian.
Neymar is the Justin Bieber of football. Brilliant on the old You Tube. Cat piss in reality…

Neymar provided a composed finish to move himself even further ahead at the top of La Liga’s goalscoring stakes in El Clasico and Barton jokingly claimed to have been a Neymar fan all along.
Neymar. What a player. Been saying it for years. Destined for the top that boy. 2-0 Barca.
