The 23-year-old forward finished his second season at Barca with victory in his first Champions League final as Barcelona duplicated their 2009 feat of winning the treble of European, league and league cup titles.
“His first season last year was very good, but this season has been spectacular and he has grown this year,” said Barcelona coach Luis Enrique.
“The figures confirm that he is one of the best players in world football.”
It was Barcelona’s fifth European crown. Neymar sealed the victory in the 97th minute when he fired home Pedro Rodriguez’s final pass.
