Lionel Messi’s penalty assist at the Nou Camp on Sunday night was planned for Neymar according to the Brazilian.‘It was for me, we had practiced it in training!’ he told Barca TV after the 6-1 win over Celta Vigo. Laughing after the jaw-dropping spot kick that caught Celta and the entire stadium by surprise he added: ‘Leo and myself had practiced but Luis was closer and he scored it.
‘Our friendship is the most important thing. It doesn’t matter who scores the goals just that we win the games.’
Andres Iniesta added: ‘I had never seen them do it but I had heard them discuss it. Perhaps it was for Neymar but Luis was there so he converted it.’
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique tried to put a lid on the post-match euphoria after what was Barca’s best second 45 minutes of the season.
Asked if the supporters inside the stadium had witnessed something historic he replied: ‘Historic? No. Historic is winning trophies this was just a very pleasing win.
