La Liga's top creator prolongs fine form in Clasico

Neymar was awarded WhoScored's man of the match award as Barcelona romped to a 4-0 win at Real Madrid in Saturday's El Clasico.

The Brazil international has been in fine form for his side in the absence of Lionel Messi, having been directly involved in 18 goals in his last eight competitive appearances.

Luis Suarez got the ball rolling for the defending champions, prodding past Keylor Navas after just 11 minutes before Neymar doubled Barcelona's advantage minutes before the interval.

Andres Iniesta made it 3-0 to the Blaugrana eight minutes into the second half as the visitors withstood heavy pressure before Suarez added his second and Barcelona's fourth with a little over 15 minutes remaining on the clock.

Defeat to Barcelona adds to the evergrowing pressure on Rafa Benitez, who was subjected to the infamous 'White Hanky' treatment at half time by the disappointed Madrid fans.

Iniesta (9.34) and Claudio Bravo (8.67) deserve ample praise for their excellent performances at the Bernabeu, but it was Neymar who stole the plaudits in Madrid in yet another fine showing from the Brazilian.

The 23-year-old played more key passes (6) than any other player in the victory, while his goal took him to the top of the scoring charts in La Liga, with 12 to his name.

Only youngster Marco Asensio (5) has now registered more assists in La Liga this term than Neymar (4), who in turn has created more chances (43) than any other player.

It was another splendid outing from Neymar, who was a constant thorn in the side of the Madrid defence over the 90 minutes.

Only Celta Vigo star Nolito (5) has now won more WhoScored man of the match awards in Spain's top tier this campaign than Neymar (4), who continues to go from strength-to-strength for Barcelona.
