World-class hitman Neymar is coming out his shell this season at Barça

Neymar is coming out of his shell. The Brazilian striker is gaining confidence because things are going well, and vice versa.

This has been a sweet season so far for him and he proved it again against Ajax, netting his 10th goal in 10 appearances - a goal a game. 

The Brazilian slotted home the first after a great team move, with Messi playing the perfect through-ball for Neymar to sweep it into the far corner. 

He looked to Messi for the celebration, as always, and their hug showed the strength of their growing relationship. 

After the goal, in the seventh minute, Neymar came into the game a lot and helped Messi, almost as if saying "I have already scored, now we go to your goal". 

Both players were taken off after the break to protect them from injury ahead of the Clasico on Saturday night.
