Neymar, Luis Suarez combine for Clásico opener in gorgeous fashion
What a team goal.
Sandra Montanez
Well, Barcelona sure are off to a brilliant start in El Clásico. They got on the board after just four minutes of play, and in brilliant fashion. Neymar torched the Real Madrid defense to record his ninth goal of the season in La Liga, and how about the first La Liga assist for Luis Suarez!
Starting Suarez was a bit of a controversial decision by Luis Enrique, but it's paid off instantly. His ball to Neymar on this goal was absolutely brilliant, the likes of which we don't see from Pedro that often, and that we're not yet quite seeing from Munir El Haddadi this early in his career. It's pretty clear why Barcelona dropped so much money on him.
And it’s worth mentioning here that Madrid’s defense was pretty poor on this goal. It’s a brilliant assist and finish, yes, but world class central defenders shouldn’t be letting Neymar create space and pick out a corner that easily.
