The Catalans dismantled Roma 6-1 in the Champions League group stage at their home turf. Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez scored a brace whereas Neymar missed a penalty late in the game.

Though he was not able to be a top-line figure on the score sheet, Neymar’s overall contribution in the match meant this performance would be remembered as one of his most influential ones.

The 2015/16 season was the best season for Neymar in which he scored 20 goals and delivered 19 assists. In October, Barcelona welcomed Rayo Vallecano at Camp Nou for a league game which the Catalans comfortably won 5-2, courtesy Neymar’s four goals.

Neymar won two penalties in the first half and converted them with relative ease. He then scored a double in the next 45 minutes after some good link-up play with Luis Suarez. The Brazilian then capped it off with a fine assist for Suarez to complete a brilliant individual performance.

November 8, 2015, proved to be the day when Neymar scored the best goal of his Barcelona career.

The first Neymar goal was routine stuff for the Brazilian who arrived at the right moment at the right time and scored with a simple finish. His second was a thing of beauty. An epitome of the phrase ‘Poetry in Motion.’ The move was started by Neymar itself in his own half before Suarez completed the pass back to Neymar.
