Barcelona star Neymar claims he does not like watching soccer when he’s not playing but admits he is enjoying life at Camp Nou after a strong start to the season.

"I don't like to watch football games when I’m not playing for Barcelona,” he told BeIN Sports. “I don't watch Real Madrid games. I don't like to watch other teams. I can't opine about something I don't see."

The Brazil international has scored eight goals in his last six games for Luis Enrique’s side, which is level on points with Real Madrid at the top of La Liga.

The two sides will go head-to-head in El Clasico after the international break, and Neymar says the first goal he scored against Real Madrid was one of the best moments of his career.

“It was a great moment. I always dreamed about a moment like this. It was one of the happiest days in my life," he said.

"Brazil - Argentina is very similar to a Barcelona - Real Madrid. It's going to be a very difficult game."
