Barcelona kept their La Liga hopes alive with a 3-2 Clasico victory over
Real Madrid - leaving an absent friend nothing short of delighted as he
watched from his sofa. Los Cules were missing Brazilian star Neymar at
the Santiago Bernabeu, the 25-year-old absent after receiving a
three-match ban following his red card at Malaga.
Barca had hoped to have Neymar available; automatically handed a
one-game ban before being given an additional two matches for
sarcastically clapping the officials as he left the pitch, the club had
appealed taking their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
But despite his and the club's unhappiness at his ban, Neymar was still able to join in the celebrations.
Firstly, the Brazilian wildly celebrated Lionel Messi's 92nd minute winner with friends at home.
And then his teammates didn't forget the former Santos star,
video-calling him from the dressing room so he could also share the
immediate aftermath of their success.
Without the Brazilian, Messi took the bull by the horns and led Barca to
triumph, scoring twice - including a winner with the last kick of the
game.
