Luis Enrique: We're seeing a wonderful version of Neymar

The Barcelona boss was delighted with the No.11's performance against Athletic

Luis Enrique lauded Neymar's performance in Barcelona's win over Athletic Club on Saturday after the Brazilian did everything but score a goal. 

"We're seeing a wonderful version of Neymar," he said in his post game press conference. "His capacity to dribble is impressive, as his sacrifice when it comes to helping the team. 

"Not scoring goals doesn't bother me at all, it's a mere anecdote if you keep in mind all the adds to the team. It's clear he's a vital player for us." 

And Luis Enrique couldn't hide his satisfaction after the 3-0 win over Athletic, with goals from Paco Alcacer, Lionel Messi and Aleix Vidal. 

"It demonstrates that we need everyone to win titles," he said after rotating his line-up once again. "We've been able to rest some players because it's impossible for them to be at 100 percent and we've still got the three points."
