The tough games have come early for Barcelona this season, but that hasn't mattered.

After an opening day victory in Bilbao and home triumph against Malaga, the Champions League holders travelled to Madrid to face Atletico and attempt to preserve their perfect record. When you've got Neymar in your side, that's not as tough as it sounds. The Brazilian cancelled out a Fernando Torres opener with this peach of a free-kick, before Lionel Messi wrapped up a 2-1 victory. Barcelona are starting to look ominous already, and we're less than a month into the Spanish season. Just wait until they get their European title defence underway.
