Neymar impressed on Sunday in a 3-0 La Liga win over Villarreal, the highlight being this moment of individual brilliance that has to be seen to be believed. Neymar's out-of-this-world flick over the defender, spin and strike in the 85th minute was the final stroke on another masterpiece of a performance that is becoming surprisingly easy for the 23-year-old while Messi recovers from a torn knee ligament. Barcelona will need Neymar to maintain his immense presence as it appears that Messi won't be rushed back for the Nov. 21 El Clasico against rival Real Madrid.
