Barcelona forward Neymar has revealed that it is his "dream" to win the Champions League this season.

The Brazilian has only just returned from a one-month absence with an ankle injury, but is expected to be involved in Barca's last-16 first-leg clash against Manchester City on Tuesday.

"Of course I am desperate to be back for the games against Manchester City. This was why I chose to play for Barcelona - so I could be involved in important European nights like this," he told Goal.com.

"Every competition is important for us - but of course there is something very special about the Champions League - and it is my dream to win it this season."

Neymar has 12 goals for his club this season.
