Barcelona forward Neymar has agreed that he was in the ‘form of his life’ after the scored twice, his 41st and 42nd strike for Brazil in their 4-0 win over Turkey in Istanbul on Wednesday evening.

Asked if he was in the best run of form in his career, the 22-year-old trickster told Globo: “I think so! It’s another country and another stadium to keep in my heart.
“I didn’t expect this, I couldn’t be happier, but I always want more and I don’t want to remain at this level. Thigs are flowing now.
“We have great players, not only with the Selecao but in Brazil as a whole. Players keep coming in and coming out but we never lose rhythm. We were great out there tonight.”
Chelsea star Willian was also on target to add to a Semih Kaya own goal, and Brazil have now won their last five games without conceding a single goal.
