Jose Manuel Pinto admits "strange things" are happening around Barcelona.

Barca have been banned from the transfer market for 12 months over their deals for junior players.

There has also been the controversy over Neymar's arrival from Santos last summer.

Barca goalkeeper Pinto said: "We try to put them to one side, although it's true that there is a fairly strange atmosphere, some strange things are going on. We are staying focused and trying to let these things not affect us in any way, but it hurts what's happening to the Club."
