Neymar instigated one of the most memorable comebacks with this worldie

Whilst the Brazilian has been whipping up the numbers since his record-breaking move to Paris St.Germain in 2017, he also has a terrific record against his current employers while his time at Barcelona with seven goals from six appearances.

But the most important, and also the best, was that stupendous in-swinger which put the Catalans on the cusp of an unprecedented comeback in the Champions League.

With time almost running out, the hosts still had a three-goal deficit to cement. And he won a free-kick at a tight angle. You would've bet your bottom dollar on Messi dispatching it in moments like these, but that night, the Brazilian wonderboy stepped up to the plate and showed why he was touted to be the heir apparent to Messi's throne.

As pressures ran high, Neymar kept his cool and nonchalantly whipped in a beauty that started a run of eight most epic minutes ever seen in a European match.
