#2 To relieve the pressure on Messi
Last season, after the abysmal display at Anfield where the Blaugrana conceded four goals, after being ahead by three goals, some sections of the fan base started calling out Lionel Messi and questioning his contributions. But, they were forgetting that he was their best player throughout the season.
Besides, since the departure of Neymar to Paris Saint Germain in the summer of 2017, Messi has been the one single-handedly steering the team towards success, especially when the chips were down. But unfortunately, Messi is human after all, and all humans have off-days.
When those Messi off-days come, the team always appear helpless and uninspiring. Bringing in Neymar would, to some extent, bring a bit of relief to the little magician, as Neymar could step up and save the day, inspiring the team to success on those days.
#3 To reignite the MSN magic
During the MSN days, the front three of Messi, Suarez and Neymar were a joy to behold. They plundered goals as if they were eating and made scoring goals look very easy. But at present, the three of them are still picking the pieces of their terrible experiences last season.
Bar Messi, none of the other two members of the MSN attacking trio can hold his head high and be proud of what he did last season. Bringing Neymar back to complete the puzzle of the Barcelona attack might unlock the beast we all know the Barcelona attack to be.
The Brazilian too, on his own, cannot even recreate the kind of form he was in at the Camp Nou. It appears he was missing his partners-in-crime and reuniting them can treat us to the kind of attack performances we like to see from Barcelona.
#4 The Champions League
During the last Barcelona success in the Champions League, Neymar took the driver's seat in the realization of that success. In fact, in the final of that tournament, the Brazilian played a pivotal role in the 3-1 win over Juventus. But since his departure, the Blaugrana have been struggling in the Champions League, especially during the knockout stages.
Take a look at the 2017/2018 season, Barcelona were knocked out by Roma, after being in front in the first leg. Last season was not any better as they got knocked out by Liverpool, also in the same fashion as the previous season, only a bit worse.
Bringing in the Brazilian can go a long way in deciding whether Barcelona will be successful in the Champions League once more or not. Neymar can be the key to unlocking the inspiration to go the extra mile at the competition. Remember what he did to his current employers when he was still a part of the MSN demolition machine.
