Neymar won the Puskas Award at Fifa's annual awards for his solo strike against Flamengo, beating fellow strikers Lionel Messi and Wayne Rooney.
"I think it’s the best goal I’ve ever scored," the Brazilian said. "I picked up the ball on the left, went past two opponents and laid the ball off to a team-mate.
"We played a great one-two and I managed to wriggle clear of two more opponents and put the ball away. It was just about the perfect move."
The 19 year-old danced past three defenders, completed a one-two with a teammate before chipping the ball past the Flamengo goalkeeper. Flamengo had the last laugh by winning the match 5-4.
Neymar also said he was happy to stay in Brazil after being continually linked with a move to Europe.
