Sevilla boss Jorge Sampaoli lavishes praise on Barcelona forward Neymar following Wednesday night's La Liga clash at Camp Nou.

Sevilla boss Jorge Sampaoli has lavished praise on Barcelona forward Neymar following Wednesday night's La Liga clash at Camp Nou.

A Luis Suarez effort and a double from Lionel Messi saw Barcelona comfortably beat Sevilla 3-0 in the midweek fixture as the Europa League winners continued their poor run of form.

Sampaoli picked out Neymar after the clash, however, insisting that the 25-year-old, who netted his 100th Barcelona goal at the weekend, is "a worthy successor to Messi".

"I congratulated Neymar for his game and for the admiration I have for him. He is a worthy successor to Messi and is on the road to big things. I have a good relationship with him," Sampaoli told reporters.

Neymar needed just 177 games to reach 100 goals for Barcelona following a move from Brazilian side Santos in the summer of 2013.
