Barcelona's coach Luis Enrique has to be quite happy with the variety of weapons Barcelona has. Today, the "MSN" trio showed its power one more time, having Neymar scoring a brace after assists by Luis Suarez. Even though los Blaugranas lost the second leg match against Bayer, the first game's result was enough for them to make it through.
The Brazilian superstar scored his eighth and ninth goal in this UEFA Champions League edition, tying Cristiano Ronaldo and Luiz Adriano as the second most prolific scorers this year. Only Lionel Messi has scored more goals than his South American colleague, and both will have one more game to increase their total. Neymar also became the second player in the tournament's history to score in both legs of his team's Quarter-final and semi-final matchups, following what Fernando Morientes did for Monaco back in the 2003-2004 season.
Fans, experts and fellow footballers surrendered to the Brazilian's skills. Have a look at what they had to say about his display!
With 37 goals this season Neymar has surpassed the best season of Eto'o with FCB (36 goals in 08/09) from @FCB_datos https://t.co/gGXJfcfA7e

I said it months ago, if Neymar isn't in the top 3 Ballon d'or nominations, I'm rushing the stage like Kanye.
