Neymar was delighted with his brace in Barcelona's rout of Elche.

Both Neymar and Lionel Messi struck twice in the 6-0 thumping.

"I'm very happy with the season I'm putting in - I'm playing every game and I'm loving it," he said.

"Elche started strongly - they were at home and wanted to play well, but we got a good win. Playing with Messi, the best player in the world, is very simple. For me it's an honour to be playing alongside him - he's my hero!"
