Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic believes the team is now ”more balanced” after Neymar left the squad, but he wants that the Brazilian to return to the squad.




Brasil international has joined Paris Saint-Germain in a move for 222 million euros in the summer transfer window, the world record for transfers.
But even after his departure, Barcelona is the absolute leader in La Liga, with four points more than the first fellow, Valencia and eight points more than the bitter rivals Real Madrid.




However, according to the Croatian midfielder, Rakitic, the team after Neymar’s departure is more balanced, but he says that the suqad misses the Brazilian

We were more enthusiastic when Neymar was here, maybe this is something we lack a bit now”, Rakitic initially told Mundo Deportivo.
“If I had a magic trick, I would have him back! He is the player you would like in your team and I would certainly prefer him to be here”.
“But the truth is we are doing very well without him here and he is now in another club, so it’s not fair to talk about him anymore”.

“We have changed our system and now we are more balanced both in defense and offensive, although we still have room for improvement”, said Rakitic.
