Neymar dazzles as Barcelona beats Juventus


EAST RUTHERFORD, US: Neymar gave Barcelona fans a dazzling reminder of what they could be about to lose on Saturday (Sunday in Manila), scoring twice as the Spanish giants defeated Juventus 2-1 in a pre-season friendly. Barcelona, with Lionel Messi starting, looked by far the more threatening of the two teams with Aleix Vidal and Messi both drawing early blocks from the Juventus defence. Nine minutes later and Neymar grabbed his second, picking his way through a static Juventus defense before burying a low shot beyond Buffon once more. Barcelona rang the changes at half time, withdrawing all but two of their starting line-up, Neymar exiting for Sergi Roberto and Arda Turan replacing Messi. Man of the moment Neymar departed the stadium without addressing reporters, while Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde could only repeat his desire to keep the Brazilian.
