It has been many years since Neymar left Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record transfer, but the emotional bond between the Brazilian and the Catalan club has never truly faded. 

Even now, long after his Camp Nou chapter closed, Barcelona continues to occupy a special place in Neymar’s heart.

Notably, the former Barça forward is currently going through a difficult period in his career. 

After struggling for nearly a year with a meniscus injury, Neymar recently underwent knee surgery and is expected to remain sidelined for the next two or three months. 

It is another frustrating setback for a player whose career in recent seasons has been repeatedly interrupted by physical problems.

Interestingly, a recent story on his Instagram offered a telling glimpse into his current state of mind. 

The image showed Neymar relaxing in a swimming pool alongside his father. In the background, a television screen displayed Neymar wearing a Barcelona shirt. 

Whether it was a compilation of his best moments or a Barça match on television was unclear, but the message was unmistakable. The nostalgia was real.

In any way, it gave a strong message that he continues to carry Barcelona in his heart after all these years.

The image resonated strongly with Barcelona supporters, many of whom still associate Neymar with one of the most joyful eras in the club’s history. 

His time at Barça represented peak football, freedom on the pitch, and some of the happiest moments of his professional life. Even years later, those memories clearly remain close to him.
