Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde admits Neymar's departure to PSG did "hurt" them.
Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu, speaking last week, says Neymar's defection left the club "depressed".
Asked about Bartomeu's comments, Valverde stated: "Has the post-Neymar depression gone? This situation hurt us.
"But also in the club environment. There was a lot of noise around this transfer."
Valverde was speaking ahead of their Copa del Rey tie with Murcia.
