Neymar joins stars

The Brazil forward has been used to, for some time, being the main man for both his club, Santos, and country.
And while his arrival at Barca is likely to be followed by the exit of David Villa — as great a vote of confidence as any — there’s no question that Lionel Messi is Barca’s superstar.

Rightly so, too, but look beyond him and there’s Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Dani Alves, Alexis Sanchez, Pedro and more. Carles Puyol is the club captain, Gerard Pique is married to Shakira and Cesc Fabregas has to make do with a place on the bench.

That being the case, Neymar might have to settle for being one of the supporting cast, but that’s never been his style — so how could he possibly elevate himself above Messi, possibly the finest player of all time?

Sportsmail can exclusively reveal his plan. New boots. Already known for his flamboyant appearance, Neymar will be wearing Nike’s new orange and black Hypervenoms.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic — who once disappointed at Barca, living in Messi’s shadow — and Wayne Rooney, another criticised for not nearing the same level, gave feedback to Nike regarding the shiny new boots. — Mailonline.
