Lionel Messi has been impressed by how Neymar has become a "more complete" player since their first meeting in the Club World Cup Final in 2011.
"A lot of time's gone by since then and I've witnessed his enormous growth, both as a footballer and as a person," Messi told FIFA.com.
"Back then he was already a really great player and now he's even more so - he's much more complete.
"Truthfully, it's a pleasure and a privilege to have him alongside us now."
