Barcelona defeated Villarreal 3-1 in the Copa del Rey semifinal 1st-leg at Camp Nou, and Neymar had a very quiet game.
Neymar was seen having a small conversation with Messi before he took the penalty. The manager assured that it was something his forwards had agreed on. He was quoted in MARCA: “Normally, the penalty taker is Leo, and second in line is Neymar. The players decide and I suppose that he would have asked Messi for permission to take it. I have been a player and it’s important to be confident. But the penalty taker is Leo, as you all know.”
