Neymar: Great honour playing with Messi at Barcelona

Neymar says playing with Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi is an "honour".

The pair have been able to complement eachother this season.

"Playing alongside him is a great honour; he's the best player in the world. Playing against him is not pleasant," said Neymar.

"We hope that he has a bad day and doesn't see much of the ball. We all realise that we can't give him time to think or start his mazy runs. Well, we basically can't let him do anything. But, we do have to win the game."
