Neymar Hails Messi Partnership After Barcelona’s 6–0 Rout of Granada
Barcelona’s attacking firepower was on full display in their emphatic 6–0 La Liga victory over Granada on Saturday, with Neymar and Lionel Messi proving they are anything but incompatible.
The Brazilian forward scored a sensational hat-trick, and on each occasion, it was the Argentine maestro who provided the assist — a clear sign of a blossoming partnership between two of football’s brightest stars.
Their chemistry marks a dramatic shift from last season, when doubts lingered over whether the two could truly complement each other on the pitch. But those concerns have been swiftly swept aside, with Neymar now publicly praising Messi’s influence and their growing understanding.
“He always knows how to position himself and how to make his teammates shine,” Neymar said after the match. “We know each other better than before, and that allows us to find each other with our eyes closed. I am convinced that Messi and I form a very good duo, and I hope it continues like that.”
Messi, who also added two goals of his own to his trio of assists, appeared to relish the fluidity of Barcelona’s front line. The Argentine’s creativity and unselfish play have allowed Neymar to flourish in recent weeks, and with both players fit and in form, Barcelona’s attack looks more dangerous than ever.
This commanding performance has further silenced critics who once questioned the compatibility of the two South American stars. As Barcelona continue their title push, the Messi-Neymar duo seems poised to be a defining force in the season ahead.
