"Barcelona" club and Brazil national team midfielder Raphinha praised former player Neymar:

"I enjoyed watching Neymar more than Lionel Messi. He was the best player in Barcelona when we won the UEFA Champions League in 2015.

L. Messi is the best player in history, but during training, I would see things from Neymar that no other player could do. Not even Leo Messi."

33-year-old Neymar scored 39 goals in 51 matches during the 2014-15 season and significantly contributed to all the titles that season.
