Luis Suárez says he has no issue with Neymar’s selfishness, claiming that his Barcelona team-mate’s hunger for goals will carry him all the way to Ballon d’Or glory.

Neymar was criticised in some quarters for taking too much out of the ball in Sunday’s Clásico success over Real Madrid at Camp Nou. Suárez has defended the Brazilian’s performance, though, arguing that all great forwards are individualistic. Suárez told RAC1: “He was right to try and finish his chances and not pass. Strikers are selfish. He is a key player and I’m convinced that he will win the Ballon d’Or.”

Suárez was Barcelona’s hero on the night, netting the winning goal early in the second half after brilliantly controlling a pass from Dani Alves before firing home to earn the home side a 2-1 win that moved them four points clear of Madrid at the top of La Liga.
