Paris Saint-Germain’s world record signing Neymar launched a scathing attack on his former club’s directors, saying “Barca deserve much better”.

The people in charge at the Catalan giants “are not the people who should be there, for the direction of Barca,” Neymar said after scoring twice on his home debut as PSG thumped Toulouse 6-2 in a Ligue 1 match on Sunday.

“I want to speak the truth, I’m very sad with them,” said the Brazilian star who cost the Paris club a world record 222 million euros (HK$2 billion) to prise from Barcelona.

“At the start, I was happy. I spent four beautiful years there and I parted happy. But with them (the club’s directors), no.

“For me, they are not the people who should be there, for the direction of Barca,” said Neymar.

“Barca deserve much better and the whole world knows it.”

Despite securing the massive fee for Neymar, Barcelona are struggling to replace him before the transfer window closes.
