Quality up Front: Neymar along side Leo Messi!

The Barcelona fans should be happy to know that they will have two of the best attacking players in the world at the start of the new season. Neymar alongside Messi might sound great but it might take time to work. Neymar will definitely have to adjust his game because Lionel Messi is the star of Barcelona. Messi However needs to understand the way that Neymar plays so that they can be effective together. If they can get an instant chemistry together Barcelona will again win the Spanish La Liga despite all the signings that Real Madrid has made.

Over the past two seasons Barcelona only had one player averaging at least 30 goals per season and that was Messi. If one is to go back in the past to 2009 that year when Barcelona won their 3^rd European Champions League and also 5 other titles, they had Messi and Samuel Eto’o both scoring over 30 goals for that season. At the end of that season they sent away Eto’o and acquired Ibrahimovic and in the following Champions League season they got eliminated by Inter Milan the team that Eto’o was playing for.  In 2011 they bought David Villa (Spain’s current all-time leading goal scorer) and villa was fantastic in his first season netting over 30 times for that seasons and Messi with his usual record breaking performance they won 6 trophies which included the Champions League which they were winning for the fourth time. Since then Lionel Messi has basically been scoring all the goals which is why they have not been able to win that fifth Champions League which would see them tying with Liverpool for the team with the 3^rd most Champions League titles in the history of the competition behind Real Madrid (9) and AC Milan (7).

Lionel Messi is fantastic however he alone cannot do all the scoring. If it’s him alone Barcelona would only be able to win maybe one trophy each year and that is just simply unacceptable from a team like Barcelona. In the upcoming season with Neymar a player who has the potential to score at least 30 goals for one season, Barcelona will again be that powerhouse that every team once feared. Something that is very clear is that Barcelona will concede goals so often times they just need to outscore their opponents and with Lionel Messi being the usual scoring machine that he is and Neymar with his ability to destroy defenses also Pedro and Sanchez playing their roles Barcelona will be a real treat even to Bayern Munich.

I would love to see Barcelona and Bayern Munich squaring off again in the Champions League with everyone fit.

It should be a goal feast in Spain.
