Santos forward Neymar has stated that he wants Barcelona to beat Real Madrid in Saturday's La Liga Clasico between the two sides due to the Blaugrana's Brazilian influences.
The 19-year-old has been perennially linked with both Spanish sides, but says that he would prefer Pep Guardiola's men to emerge victorious because of his compatriots Dani Alves and Adriano representing the Camp Nou outfit.
"I am very fond of Dani Alves and I always support him. I'm going with Daniel and Adriano," the 19-year-old told Mundo Deportivo.
"Barca are the best team in the world. They all play the ball. Xavi, Iniesta and Messi are crucial and I hope to play with them live."
The Brazil international also looked forward to the Club World Cup in Japan, where his Santos side could meet Guardiola's European champions.
"I'm already looking forward to the Club World Cup. We are working to get well-prepared so we can make history again."
Despite winning the Copa Libertadores earlier this year, Santos only managed to finish in10th place in the Brasileiro.
