Brazil's Neymar Da Silva had this evening a crowded reception in his presentation as a Barcelona player at the Camp Nou, where 56,500 fans attended, according to figures provided by the club, an influx comparable to that recorded in 2009 with the Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Just after 18:30, Neymar, who had just signed his new contract as Barca player in the club's offices, finally appeared on the lawn, to the delight of the stands, while the chords sounded Barça anthem.
After exhibiting his skills with the ball and give away a few of them to the stands, the Brazilian international, even without dorsal, although Neymar Jr. name engraved on the back, dedicated a few words to the fans.
"Good afternoon, everyone.'m Very happy to be a Barca player. Come to add and make player Leo Messi is better than it is.'s A dream to be here, and God bless 'Visca Barca'" said in a speech in which sandwiched phrases in Catalan.
Meanwhile, Barcelona fans, some with astro-shirt sold at 92 euros and in the Official Barça paid tribute from the stands, with chants and banners of welcome, some making a humorous reference to eternal rival.
"Florentino (Perez, president of Real Madrid) in Madrid, and no sea or Neymar," read one.
