Lionel Messi scored twice to cap a brilliant performance and Cesc Fabregas and Xavi also got on the scoresheet in a one-sided contest in Yokohama.
The 19-year-old confessed that Pep Guardiola's men were superior to Santos, but feels there is no shame in bowing out to Barca.
"I don't know if Barcelona are unbeatable, but they are the best team in the world," said Neymar, who won the bronze ball trophy behind Xavi (silver) and Messi (gold). "Today, here, we learned what it is to play football.
What we experienced in this match, we will take as a lesson. Today, Barcelona taught us how to play football."
Meanwhile, Asian champions Al-Sadd held their nerve to take third place at the Club World Cup on Sunday as they won their play-off against Japanese side Kashiwa Reysol 5-3 on penalties.
