Meetings between Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, known as Clásicos, are the biggest soccer matches in Europe. With both teams in the top 3 of La Liga though the first few months of the season, Barcelona’s 2-1 win in Saturday’s Clásico at the Camp Nou will give the club a strong advantage in the title race. Featuring in his first Clásico since joining Barcelona this summer, Brazilian superstar Neymar only needed 19 minutes to find the back of the net.Neymar received a gentle pass from Andrés Iniesta near the corner of the six-yard box and curled a shot just inside the far post.
