    We'd like to know your thoughts - is Neymar now the best player in the world? Or is it far too soon for that kind of chat?

    Who's going to win this game today? Should Barca use Lionel Messi at all if he's only half fit?

  10. Is Neymar the new king?published at 16:34

    So Barcelona must have really missed Lionel Messi while he was out. 

    Well, whisper it, but not really. Luis Suarez has scored eight goals in as many games without Messi and Neymar has hit 10.

    In fact there are now suggestions that Neymar might be the best player in the world - above Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

    Spanish football writer Andy West has looked into the topic for us, and here are his findings.

    Perhaps it is time to reconsider the old notion that nobody else comes close to touching Messi and Ronaldo, because another flamboyant talent is also performing at similarly outrageous levels: Neymar.

    A lot of the build-up to this game has centered around whether Lionel Messi would start or not.

    Sidelined for nine games with a knee injury, the Barcelona legend returned to training this week.

    There was a lot of speculation he'd be on the bench, but yesterday Barca manager Luis Enrique said he would decide one hour before kick-off.

    And decide he has. Messi is.............................................

    on the bench.
