Barcelona 5-2 Rayo Vallecano: Its Neymar show as Catalans close Gap

Run-ups are over-rated, just ask Neymar who scored four goals at the Camp Nou on Saturday night – two of which were penalties scored from a standing start.

The Brazilian became La Liga’s top scorer with eight goals this season, scoring twice in each half as Barcelona beat Rayo Vallecano 5-2.

Luis Suarez made the third and fourth Neymar goals and then scored the fifth from a Neymar pass. Barca fans are counting the days until Lionel Messi returns. They sang his name in the second half as he watched from the stands alongside Andres Iniesta, who is also injured.

But while they wait for him to come back from his knee ligament injury Suarez and Neymar seem more than capable of holding things together and Neymar may just have the penalty-taking job for keeps.

He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
