'Neymar is among the best players in the world,' says Barcelona manager Luis Enrique after the Brazilian scored in their Champions League final win over Juventus.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has paid tribute to Brazilian forward Neymar after he scored in their 3-1 Champions League final win over Juventus.

Neymar, 23, grabbed Barcelona's third goal on the night to draw level at the top of the tournament's goalscoring charts this season, alongside teammate Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.

It was Neymar's 39th goal in all competitions this term and one which Enrique feels proves to the world how good he is.

"His first season last year was very good, but this season has been spectacular and he has grown this year," Enrique told reporters.

"The figures confirm that he is one of the best players in world football."

Barcelona's front three of Neymar, Messi and Luis Suarez have scored a combined 122 goals this season to help fire the club to a La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League treble.
