According to Xavi Simons, a former player for Paris Saint-Germain, Neymar treated him like his son while he was playing in the French capital.

Xavi currently plays for the Dutch powerhouse PSV, but he plans to return to PSG in the summer.

Although they moved to PSG in different seasons and had known each other since they were children, Neymar and Xavi maintained their friendship even after they left Barcelona.

Recently, Xavi has spoken out about his friendship with the Brazilian player, claiming that the former Barcelona star was supportive in Paris.

“Being able to speak Spanish, French, and Dutch, I could almost speak to everyone." "Neymar, knowing me since I was a kid, helped me a lot,” he told Marca.

“We had a very good relationship." He looked after me like a son practically. I will be eternally grateful to him.

Speaking more about Lionel Messi and Neymar, the Dutchman said it was special to be playing with both stars, whom he described as the best in the world.
