Barcelona ace Neymar has spoken of the tackling he's been on the wrong end of this season.

Neymar, however, insists he had no problem with the attention from Athletic Bilbao during this week's Copa del Rey.

"Some tackles are normal and others aren't, but that's why there's a man with a whistle out on the pitch. I think that the refereeing was normal," said Neymar.

"Things always calm down after the game. I just had a quiet chat with them."

Neymar does not think that the tie is won after the 2-1 victory at Bilbao.

"They're a good team and have players capable of deciding a game. That goal could still complicate things for us, but we had a good game and now face the return leg at home."
