El Clasico ICC 2017: Real Madrid 2-3 Barcelona - 5 Talking Points

#5 Was it Neymar's last El Clasico?

Was this the last El Clasico of Neymar's career?

An El Clasico happening in the month of July, outside of Spain, is already extremely rare and as such, unforgettable.

It was only the second ever Clasico, which was held outside Spain, and it was the first of new Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde's managerial career.

However, come the end of August, it might be remembered as the last El Clasico of Neymar. The Brazilian has been linked with a move to PSG and while the Barcelona hierarchy and players have categorically denied that the 25-year-old is leaving, there is no smoke without fire.

And as such, there is a growing concern within the Barcelona faithful that might be Neymar's last El Clasico.

It has been a weird transfer window so far, and a very strange season lies ahead of us. Barcelona and Real Madrid are - so far - scheduled to play at least 4 more El Clasicos this season, with the first one to be played on the 13th of August.

2 weeks is a long time in football, and anything can happen during this time. Maybe Neymar will dazzle the Real Madrid defenders once again in a fortnight with his silky skills and outrageous maneuvers, or maybe, he will be seen plying his trade in France alongside his friend Dani Alves.

No one knows, what will happen in two weeks time and we will have to wait and watch to see how this transfer saga pans out...
