'It's always a joy to have Neymar' - PSG star's Brazil comeback delights Dani Alves

The frowad notched a goal and an assist in his first match since June, much to the delight of his former Barcelona and PSG team-mate

Dani Alves described playing with Neymar as a joyous experience after the Brazil star scored on his long-awaited return to the pitch.

The Paris Saint-Germain forward set aside three months of injury issues and transfer speculation as he made his first appearance of the season in the Selecao's 2-2 friendly draw against Colombia in Florida on Friday.

Though relatively quiet in the first half, he delivered the corner from which Casemiro opened the scoring and later preserved his side's unbeaten streak by side-footing home in the 58th minute.
