Barcelona’s Neymar scores off pass from Luis Suarez

He has been a goal scoring machine since Messi went down and has been competing with Luis Suarez for goals. I don’t like to watch other teams.

At the half things were going well for Villarreal, 0-0 and even a chance to go ahead.

Villarreal did well to hold the Blaugrana at bay for so long before the game’s opener, but Marcelino Garcia Toral’s men will tumble out of La Liga’s top four, providing Atletico Madrid defeat Sporting Gijon later on Sunday.

It was clear Villarreal arrived at the Camp Nou with the objective of absorbing punishment from one of Europe’s best attacks, a tactic that came off for the opening 45 minutes in Catalonia. We played well against Villarreal, who are a great team. A draw between the two teams is priced at 9/2. “I can’t say yes, nor can I say no. He is recovering and recovering well”, Luis Enrique said.

The score raises Neymar’s total to 13 goals in 11 La Liga matches this season. It’s over, it’s done.

But the Blaugrana have come through it and, fingers crossed, this was their last game without the Argentine superstar.

Along with Messi, Barcelona will also be without midfielder Javier Mascherano, who is sidelined with a ban after picking up a red card against Eibar.

But despite choosing not to analyze opponents in his free time, the 23-year-old Brazil captain lavished praise on Barcelona’s biggest rivals, Real Madrid, and their talisman forward, Cristiano Ronaldo.

But Neymar saved the best for last. With his next touch, he threaded a flawless pass through to Neymar, who took the ball brilliantly before finishing low past Alphonse Areola. The hosts’ frustration continued after the break as they picked up bookings for dissent, but the whole contest changed on the hour when Barcelona took the lead through a super Neymar finish.

8-7 to Neymar now… your move Luis. This time it was Jaume Costa, fouling Munir in the penalty area.

Clos Gomez wasn’t a popular figure at the Nou Camp today.

“I don’t like to watch football games when Barcelona don’t play”, he told beIN Sports.
