Neymar finished in fifth place this season for the Ballon d'Or.

While he would like to win the award someday, it is not something he is obsessed with.

"I am very happy in Barcelona, at this team and with the life I have," Neymar said.

"Of course, it is my goal to win the Ballon d'Or, but I am not going to kill myself for it.

"I want to be happy and I am happy here at Barcelona. It is not a problem if I do not win the Ballon d'Or. 

"I do not play football to win the Ballon d'Or. I play football to be happy, because I love it and want to play football.

"Winning the Ballon d'Or is the consequence of your work. Unfortunately, only one person can win it and Leo Messi is the best."
