La Liga: Barcelona 3-0 Villareal

Finally accepting Neymar's brilliance..

Neymar's second goal stole the show, and it did what we never saw coming: A tweet from outspoken player Joey Barton actually praising the Brazilian. Well, it wasn't direct, but we are pretty sure, the Barcelona star will take that. This is what the English midfielder had tweeted once:

I'm closer in ability to Neymar than Neymar is to Messi. #fact 😃

Neymar is the Justin Bieber of football. Brilliant on the old You Tube. Cat piss in reality...

If you didn't just see what Neymar just did, make sure you find a vine of it, or something, at once!

Best summary of Neymar's goal, from @LaTdP : "You can’t even score that goal on the Playstation. It doesn’t exist!".

Was fantastic to see Neymar give the penalty to Suárez despite being La Liga leading scorer. Pichichi is not the objective, the title is.

Once upon a time I said Hazard was on the same level as Neymar. If I ever find a way to time travel I will go back and slap myself

Neymar: "Very happy with the win. We had lost control of the game a bit, there was lots of tension, things were heating up."

Reporter: "Do you realize what you've done in that second goal? Neymar: "Yeah yeah, I had thought about this move before."

Until the past few seasons Neymar used to look physically below par. Recently he improved his main weakness. The future emperor of football.

Neymar speaking about his second goal: “I thought about the move in advance and it came off.”

Neymar has scored 22 goals for barca since Hazard last scored for Chelsea.

Neymar and Luis Suárez both go in the book as a result of that. Our lip reading department reports they said some naughty words.

We're back underway at Camp Nou and Neymar is on the receiving end of a crunching tackle, much to Luis Enrique's displeasure.
