Neymar pleased with Barcelona win

Neymar pleased with Barcelona win

Barcelona attacker Neymar has said that his team "played really well" in their Copa del Rey quarter-final first leg away to Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday night.

The Catalan outfit were without both Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez for the clash at San Mames, but recorded a 2-1 win courtesy of goals from Neymar and Munir El Haddadi.

The Copa holders are now the strong favourites to make the semi-finals ahead of the return match at Camp Nou next week.

"We have played really well and now we have the second leg at home," Neymar told reporters after the match.

The Brazilian international started on the left of a front three that included Munir and Arda Turan, with the latter now available for selection.
