Neymar struck both goals as Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-0 yesterday.
Ernesto Valverde's side had produced a disciplined performance at the Nou Camp and looked to be heading for a point until a moment of brilliance from Lionel Messi released Neymar, who broke the deadlock with nine minutes remaining.
The Argentinian and Brazilian then combined again for the second goal, Messi cutting the ball back for his team-mate to strike low into the bottom corner and deliver the final blow to Athletic.
"I'd stress how few chances Athletic got, even though they're a team that likes to have the ball," said coach Luis Enrique.
"They hardly generated any danger and you have to play well as a team to achieve that If we want to do well, we are going to have to be consistent and compact both in attack and defence. It makes me proud that we created so many chances against a team like Athletic."
