Luis Enrique: 'Neymar is like Ronaldinho'

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique compares Neymar to former Brazil attacker Ronaldinho, who played for the Spanish giants between 2003 and 2008.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has compared current Brazil captain Neymar to Ronaldinho, who represented the Catalan outfit between 2003 and 2008.

Neymar took his La Liga total for the season to 11 goals at the weekend as he scored a brace in Barcelona's 3-0 win over Villarreal.

The 23-year-old's second goal at Camp Nou has drawn a lot of attention after he controlled the ball over the head of his marker before finding the back of the net.

Enrique has revealed that Ronaldinho used to perform similar tricks in training during his time alongside the now 35-year-old.

"I was lucky to play with Ronaldinho. In training, we used to stay behind and watch him kick the ball about. [Him and Neymar] are unique and special players. We also watch Neymar kick the ball about," Enrique told reporters.

Neymar is already Brazil's fifth highest goal-scorer of all time, having netted 46 times in 67 appearances for his country.
