What more would you expect from two of the best players in the world?

Barcelona didn’t take long to open the scoring against Ajax in the Nou Camp this evening and when the goal did arrive, it was a thing of beauty.

After a series of sharp, short passes in the Ajax half of the field, Lionel Messi released Neymar and the Brazilian came up with a Thierry-style curler into the far corner that Jasper Cillessen hadn’t a hope of keeping out.
