Barcelona’s attacking trio put on yet another masterclass on Tuesday as the La Liga leaders thrashed Roma 6-1.
Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez each scored twice, and even though Neymar missed a late penalty, the Brazilian played his part with this incredible piece of skill in the build-up to Messi’s second.
Barca’s frontline have now scored a combined 120 goals in this calendar year, a tally that is put in perspective when you realise it comfortably exceeds Real Madrid’s entire output over the same period.
Messi (42), Neymar (39) and Suárez (39) have scored more official goals for FCB (120) than the entire RMA team (106) in 2015.
