Neymar needed three games to open his scoring account in La Liga, but the wait was worth it.
With Lionel Messi out of the starting lineup, the free-kick duties went directly to the 23-year-old Brazilian. He made no mistake.
Neymar didn't need a huge run up to the ball or any fancy tricks. Just a couple of steps and a killer shot. Perfection.
