Puyol: Ask Neymar if he was wrong to leave Barcelona

Former Barcelona captain Carles Puyol has questioned Neymar's decision to leave for PSG.

Neymar quit Barca in 2017 for a world record €222m.

Puyol told Marca: "We should ask him (if he was wrong leaving Barcelona).

"He was at the best place and with the best teammates. He was a very wanted player, but he wanted other challenges and we have to accept it. Now, it is wise to say that he was wrong. He had injuries and PSG did not do things as planned, especially in the Champions League.

"But he still has a great career and when he finishes, he will have to take stock."
