PROVOKING THE PENALTY AND FREE KICK OF THE FIRST TWO GOALS - Neymar, on the up and up

Neymar left Milan without having scored, but played a decisive role in Barça's victory. The Brazilian was the only player capable of breaking through Milan's defensive line. Without doubt, together with Fàbregas, he is currently Barça's most on form and dangerous player.

As has been the case in all the games he has played to date, his opponents could only put a stop to him by fouling him. Abate dragged him down when he was going for goal and the referee blew his whistle, awarding a penalty which was duly converted by Messi. Minutes later he was fouled on the left wing and the beautiful cross put in by Xavi was headed into the back of the net by Busquets, making it 2-0.

The Brazilian is making a habit of playing a key role in Barcelona's most important games. He did so against Atlético de Madrid, when he came on for an injured Messi, scoring the goal that won his team the SuperCup.

10 days ago he also played a decisive role in the 'Clásico' against Real. He scored an artful goal in the first half and then gave a wonderful assist to Alexis, who made it 2-0.

Yesterday, he also gave the most beautiful display of football we have seen for a long time. Taking the ball out on the left wing, he cut across the pitch, dribbling past a total of four Milan defenders before shooting the ball wide to the right of the goalmouth.
