Neymar vs Arsenal (Away) | 2020 HD 1080i

Good evening, everyone. It's not a long walk from the dressing rooms to the part of the pitch where they line up here at the Emirates, but it's got the feel of a world title fight tonight. Can football's undisputed champions be slowed down by Arsenal here at the Emirates? It's a crisp evening in North London, and this one's been the hottest ticket in town ever since the draw was made. Barcelona bidding to become the first team to retain the trophy since Milan did it 26 years ago. The Gunners trying to get back to European football's big night out for the first time since Barca beat them a decade ago. It's not just a game when Barcelona bring their superstars to town. It becomes an occasion. I pick off and get a little bit of space. Here is Neymar. Yeah, Ramsey brings him down, Fleish has not. Ramsey doesn't want to be chasing him. If anything, he has to be left to Bellerin. He needs to speed, he's in the back four. It's time if they got a yellow card tonight. Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud. He's faced Barcelona. And of course, he's got the opportunity this season to. Here's Neymar. Neymar's found very little. The Albert, Neymar. Again, we see Oxlade-Chamberlain supporting, but he gets through the gap and he's still going here. Neymar, he thought he was being pulled back. The first time we've seen a little bit of brilliance, though, from one of the big three, it was Neymar. Yeah, he just does a little roll with his foot, doesn't he? Left and right. Stands on it there. He gets a little bit lucky. Oxlade-Chamberlain's not strong enough and he's a pity. One of the perils, isn't it? A little touch by Neymar to Suarez. Arsenal have always done well against Barcelona. They've always made chances. Neymar to Iniesta. That's there from Gerrard Pique. Now the Turkish referee uninterested. Yeah, they need to get back though, Arsenal now. Arsenal have to keep an eye. Here's Neymar. And it goes towards Messi. Neymar. For once, there's no Oxlade-Chamberlain alongside Delerine because of the run of Jordi Alba. Here is Neymar. Suarez to Iniesta. Giroud. And Giroud has it taken off him by Neymar, but he's going to get the free kick. I thought he was fortunate there as well. He took a big chance. Olivier Giroud, when you look at the fixture list they sometimes face in Spain. Very much so. Here's Neymar looking to accelerate. Fantastic feet. Now Rakitic. On Neymar. Sanchez back there for Arsenal. Monreal's there too. Now Neymar. Neymar looking to move away from Delerine, who's extremely quick, to Suarez, who lets it run to Neymar, and then Messi, and then Suarez! And teed up towards... ...season, which makes him Barcelona's top scorer. Here's Neymar. He's looking to play. It's been quite a frequent thing for them tonight, Steve, hasn't it? Just not quite got it right in the final. Here's Neymar. Barcelona are in behind them. Will he stick it across to him? No. He's a centre-forward, you expect him to take that chance on Messi, he was not happy, but he should have scored Neymar. He's scored from lots of positions like that this year. Norm, he just bends, it rounds the goalkeeper... ...wins his first header. Giroud was then caught out by Neymar. Here's Neymar. Roll under the... One of them Neymar. Suarez waiting, Messi on his way in. Neymar gets the ricochet, Bellarine with a good challenge. Messi takes it through. Here's Neymar, back towards Messi, really important. Now Barcelona's turn. Neymar has been a feature of Arsenal's defensive play so far tonight. Wonderful balance about him. Yeah, he's been the most dangerous tonight out of the three. Now Suarez. That Monreal's there and he's looking to squeeze it through. It was Neymar at the far post and that was inches away. On block, this was nice by Luis Suarez, but no one was at the far post for the tap-in. He's disappointed that he bought the dummy from his own teammate, Neymar. And then further cleared by Iniesta. Neymar to Suarez. And they've got runners here. One of them's Neymar and they've got Messi forward too. Neymar in for Barcelona to Lionel Messi. Down goes Czech. Messi scores and that's how quickly they can do it. The big three combined and Barcelona lead. How quick was this? Neymar to Suarez, nobody picking Neymar back up. And he makes the right decision, Monreal lets him take it onto his left foot. Has to go eventually. Talk about Oxlade-Chamberlain having the composure to flick it over the goalkeeper in the first half. The best player in the world does. Neymar's the ball, and Neymar's in. Neymar takes the touch. Now Messi, and then Suarez! Barcelona have got the corner. Neymar swings it in. Neymar, Messi's made the run. Neymar finds him with a pass. Suarez, in towards Neymar. Czech with a really important save. A good save by Petr Cech. Yeah, it's a great save by Petr Cech. Not a great header by Neymar in all honesty, but still, Petr Cech has to do his job. As you reference between the sides tonight, Lionel Messi with two goals. One in open play, having been set up by Neymar and Suarez. And another one from the penalty spot, after Flameni had come off the bench and committed the foul.
