Luis Enrique defends Neymar


The Barca boss has supported the Brazilian following criticism for his performance in the Champions League win on Tuesday

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has defended Neymar in the wake of his below-par performance in the 2-1 Champions League win over Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday.

The Catalans had to make do without the services of Lionel Messi at Camp Nou due to his knee injury, but Neymar failed to step up in the Argentina captain's absence.

However, Luis Enrique was adamant that people cannot expect the former Santos star to just take Messi's role as Barcelona's main man.

"For me, Neymar did a good job against Leverkusen," the Barca boss was quoted as saying by AS.
