Barcelona ace Neymar defends showboating antics: I won't change

Neymar defended his showboating at the end of Barcelona's Copa del Rey final victory over Athletic Bilbao.

The Brazilian angered Athletic players with his antics.

"They pressed us really hard, and we had to suffer but we took control of the game, we started to play our game, and we ended up with the two goals [in the first half].

"Next weekend we'll go for our third title, which is very important for us," said Neymar.

On his play late in the game, he added: "It's a move just like any other. I don't know why they got angry. It's a part of my football and won't change. Three years ago I did the same thing."
