Neymar pleased with Lionel Messi partnership

Neymar has revealed his delight at playing alongside Lionel Messi in the Barcelona attack.

The pair have been in excellent form in the early part of the campaign, with Neymar scoring six times in the league and Messi registering five.

The duo also both impressed during Barcelona's 6-0 win over Granada on Saturday, with Neymar bagging three goals and Messi hitting a brace in addition to registering two assists at the Camp Nou.

"The first year was to adapt. Now I'm getting better and I can contribute more," Neymar told Marca.

"Messi and I are growing increasingly as a duo. I'm very happy with my hat-trick and I have to thank my teammates who helped me with the goals."

Barcelona are still yet to concede a single goal in La Liga this season.
