England defender Danny Rose praised Neymar and said it was a pleasure to see the Brazil star up close.

Neymar was unable to make a breakthrough as Tite's side were held to a 0-0 friendly draw by England at Wembley on Tuesday.

Despite being wayward with his shooting at times, Rose, who started the game as a substitute, was impressed by the Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil star, saying it was great to see the 25-year-old up close.

"He's one of [the best in the world]," the Tottenham defender said.

"It was a pleasure to see him live and it's not until you actually watch him you get to see how sharp he is.
