Barcelona - Neymar and Lionel Messi each scored for a fifth consecutive game to help Barcelona to a 3-1 victory over Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday as the Spanish giant returned to winning ways in Europe.
Messi started an outstanding performance at Camp Nou by setting up Neymar in the seventh minute before the Argentine scored in the 24th.
Messi's 69th career goal in Europe's top-tier competition moved him to within two goals of Raul Gonzalez's all-time record of 71. He is tied with Cristiano Ronaldo before Real Madrid visits Liverpool on Wednesday.
Anwar El Ghazi pulled one back for Ajax in the 88th, while fellow substitute Sandro Ramirez struck in stoppage time for the hosts.
Messi added his ninth goal of the campaign when Barcelona won possession in midfield.

The goalie got a touch on the ball but not enough to stop it from trickling over the line.
Pedro sent Messi's pass off the post in the 29th, and Iniesta was denied by Cillessen 10 minutes later.
Coach Luis Enrique substituted Neymar, Messi and Iniesta in the second half to rest them for the match at Madrid.
