Neymar, a former teammate with Messi during his time at the Camp Nou, believes the Argentine captain is the best player in the world he has ever seen.
The 27-year-old, however, noted that it was an honour to play with Messi at Barcelona.
“For me, he’s the best player in the world,” Neymar told Oh My Goal in a Q&A interview in the United States. “The best that I’ve ever seen play.
“We made a magnificent duo, it was a pleasure for me and an honour to play with him. And on top of that, he’s my friend.”
DAILY POST had reported that Neymar has been consistently linked with a return to Barcelona since joining PSG for a world-record deal of £222 million.
The PSG forward had already revealed his intention to leave PSG for Barcelona in this summer’s transfer window
