Brazil captain Neymar has called Saturday's La Liga fixture against Rayo Vallecano 'one of his best matches for Barcelona'.

The 23-year-old struck four times in his team's 5-2 victory, in addition to setting up Luis Suarez for the Uruguayan's goal.

Neymar has said that he was "very, very happy" with his team's performance at Camp Nou and also paid tribute to the qualities of Rayo, who caused the hosts problems in Barcelona.

"I'm very, very happy for the win, for the game and how we played. Congratulations to everyone [who played their part]," he told Movistar Plus.

"It's very difficult [to play Rayo]. They're a team who have quality players, who play the game, and it asked a lot of us, but we perfected our work and got the win.

"All our opponents are difficult, but I'd like to congratulate all the Rayo players because they played very well. It was one of my best matches for Barcelona."

Neymar has now scored 62 times in 101 games for Barcelona.
