Video: Neymar scores an absolute screamer against Rayo Vallecano

Meanwhile, the other lad isn't doing too badly either.

Neymar’s back, everybody.

The Brazilian striker came on as a substitute during Barcelona’s 6-0 win over Rayo Vallecano and promptly fired in this absolute screamer of a shot from 25 yards, having started his run at the half-way line.

Much as he tried, however, he still couldn’t upstage Lionel Messi as the Argentine’s two goals made him the third highest goalscorer ever in La Liga.

Messi now has 228 league goals to his name, surpassing Alfredo di Stefano and hot on the trail of both Hugo Sanchez (234) and Telmo Zarra (251).

Not only that, but Messi 336th goal in all competitions for Barcelona made him the highest scorer for a single Spanish club side.
