Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué believes Lionel Messi and Neymar can play together and has labeled the pair as two of the best in the world.

The South American duo suffered mixed 2013/14 campaign at the Camp Nou, with both picking up various injuries throughout the season.

It meant they couldn’t properly develop an exciting partnership but that appears different this season.

At the weekend, Neymar struck twice as the Catalan club defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-0 and both goals were assisted by Messi.

That has added to Piqué’s belief that the pair can play well together.

The 27-year-old spoke to Goal.com, he said: “Messi and Neymar are as good as ever.

“This season, they both have a lot of quality and when they connect it’s amazing.

“They are two of the best in the world and they play together.”
