Neymar is back on the pitch and back doing Neymar things.
Only three minutes into Barcelona's John Gamper Trophy match against Mexican club León, which marks Neymar's first fixture since he suffered a World Cup-ending fractured vertebra, the Brazilian superstar found the ball on the left side of the pitch and proceeded to nutmeg a defender with a pass that found its way onto the head of Lionel Messi and into the back of the net.
It was the beginning of a long night for León's backline.
