The National's Sport Cover for the Sunday, September 14 issue, featuring Neymar, who took a pair of feeds from Lionel Messi and converted them for Barcelona's two goals in a 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao on Saturday.
It was Neymar’s first competitive match for Barcelona since he cracked a vertebra in his back during the World Cup in July, and he performed admirably, with Andy Mitten writing, “Neymar soothed those fevered brows with a game-changing opening goal. Then added a second five minutes later.”
As Mitten adds, the result ensures, “Barca stay top of the league, with Messi and Neymar hitting their stride as the season warms up”.
