Messi and Neymar combine to keep Barcelona perfect

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique lauded the quality of strike duo Lionel Messi and Neymar after both were on target as the Catalans maintained their perfect start to the La Liga season with a 5-0 win at Levante on Sunday.

Messi fired a first-half penalty off target, but teed up Neymar and Sandro Ramirez to take his tally of assists to six in just five games this season and finally got his goal as he rounded off the scoring 18 minutes from time.

"With Leo Messi we are talking about a unique, special player. His teammates know well that when he has the ball, he cannot only beat players but assist them magnificently," said Enrique.
