VIDEO: Neymar gives Barcelona early lead vs. Ajax

Looking to replicate their home fixture against Ajax from last season's Champions League, Barcelona opened the scoring early Tuesday courtesy of some trademark passing and a composed finish from Neymar.

After Lionel Messi collected the ball in the middle of the pitch in the seventh minute, he proceeded to take out Ajax's entire backline with a phenomenal pass to Neymar, who only needed one touch to slot the ball past Jasper Cillessen and into the back of the net.
