L.Messi: Neymar could become the best footballer in the world

"Barcelona" team star Lionel Messi did not spare praise for Neymar and stated that the Brazilian has the potential to become the best in the world.

The 22-year-old footballer arrived in Barcelona in the summer of 2013, but the past season was not successful for him. This season, it seems that Neymar has shown himself in all his glory.

"Neymar has only been playing in the team for two years, but I feel a special connection with him both on and off the field," - L. Messi told journalists.

"Because of his potential, I think he can become the best footballer in the world. He is a great player and I enjoy playing together with him," - added the Argentine, who has been named the best in the world four times.

Together, both players scored 13 goals this season.
