Josep Maria Bartomeu, Barcelona Football Club President, has said that they have learn a lot since Neymar's signing, which sparked up issues on tax evasion and money.

"Maybe we feel that in some aspects off the pitch [our image has suffered]: the problem with Fifa and the young players, the issue with Neymar. Maybe our image has suffered for these things. But you have to learn when things are not as good as they can be, and we have.

"A lot of the things that have happened have not been positive, but in a sense they have all been good experiences, because they have informed what we will do in the future.

"We do not feel our standing [in world football] has fallen on the pitch. Any team can have one season when they do not win a major trophy. That is football.

Neymar moved from Santos to Barca for a fee of €57.1 years ago, but the prosecutors have said that the football club failed to declare another €37.9m, which was said to be transferred into the accounts of a company linking to Neymar's family.

Nevertheless, the president wanted to gain the people's trust again.

"It means we have to be democratic, transparent, that we have to explain everything we do. Some think that [in the Neymar case] we were not transparent. But because a member asked us [to disclose the transfer amount], we did. It is the exact opposite. We were completely transparent. No other club in the world has to do that or would do that.

For Luis Suarez, he said: "His reputation did not influence our thinking, not at all."

"We will help him to come back to a proper way of playing and of acting. He knows he did wrong. That is why he apologised. Everyone knows that what he did was wrong. For us, that is enough. We want him to perform as he did at Liverpool - and let's not forget that last season he acted perfectly. We have to learn from what Liverpool did.

"At La Masia, we do not just produce players. We create people, too. They grow with the values that we teach them. When we buy players, it is one of our commitments and obligations that they act in the way the club demands.

"We want to win, yes, but we feel we can do that while still being moral."
