Neymar scores 4 goals in Barça’s victory over Rayo

Luis Suarez made the third and fourth Neymar goals and then scored the fifth from a Neymar pass. Barca fans are counting the days until Lionel Messi returns.

The goalkeeper was forced to pick the ball out of the net again just a minute later as Suarez pounced on a careless Rayo pass and raced towards goal, squaring the ball for Neymar to nudge it in.

The young Brazilian forward scored an awesome four goals on Saturday in a thrashing victory over Rayo Vallecano.

Ivan Rakitic and Luis Suarez had earlier failed to beat Tono when through one-on-one with the Rayo keeper but Barcelona were level in the 22nd minute when Neymar won and converted a penalty.

The magical Neymar with an easy finish.

The Catalans lost two of their last three games including a disappointing 1-2 defeat to Sevilla at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán in the 7th matchday.

Real had to name a bench with seven academy graduates due to the absence of Sergio Ramos, Luka Modric, James Rodriguez and Karim Benzema through injury and coach Rafael Benitez was happy to secure a comfortable win in the circumstances. Spain midfielder Andres Iniesta is also sidelined with a hamstring problem.

The Brazilian was able to reward his team-mate’s generosity later on, curling the ball across the box from the left-hand side, and Suarez coolly volleyed home to get a deserved goal.

“I can’t explain how I do things, it would be giving away clues”, Neymar told Spanish television when asked about his brilliant move.

Barcelona have had more world-class players than most this century, so when someone like Neymar comes along the benchmark is already high.

Ahead of the Barcelona game against Rayo Vallecano we take a look at how the team will possibly lineup.

Speaking to the reporters, Guerra says, “In football anything can happen, nobody is invincible”, he further states, “Celta has a great team, they play very good football and has an impressive day against Barcelona that was not on form and did damage”.

This is in stark contrast to Mascherano and Busquets, who have clocked up more than 1000 minutes of non stop football over the past 2 months.

Sevilla’s stuttering start to the season continued when the Europa League holders, who play at Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday, drew 1-1 at modest Eibar and are 11th on nine points.

“We are going there determined to bring home three points”.
