The duo combined to score five goals in the 6-0 victory over Granada and the Barcelona sporting director has hailed their contribution to the team
Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta says that Neymar and Lionel Messi are much more than just "outstanding" players.
The Brazilian scored a hat-trick during the 6-0 demolition of
Granada on Saturday, with the Argentine contributing two more, and the legendary goalkeeper has hailed their impact on the team.
"They are two outstanding players, who do much more than play good football and that's good for the team," he is quoted as saying by AS.
The 52-year-old voiced his delight with how well Barca's summer signings have fared since arriving at Camp Nou and hopes Luis Suarez can have a similar impact once his ban for biting Giorgio Chiellini ends.
"The players who have arrived have done well. We have to put Luis Suarez, whose time will come, in the team. We are continuing to grow and learn.
"We have a new coach and this process takes time. All players are responding well. Life and football will lead us to where we want to go."
Barcelona's next game is a Champions League trip to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
