The Brazilian scored twice during the victory over Athletic Bilbao on Saturday and the Spanish star says his side can always count on their star forwards
Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta says his side can always count on Lionel Messi and Neymar to settle matches in their favour.
The Catalans have won all three of their games so far this season, including a 2-0 triumph over Athletic Bilbao on Saturday thanks to two lates goals from the Brazilian.
Luis Enrique's side were made to work hard for victory but Iniesta believes the presence of the two South American stars within the squad means Barca are always a threat in the final third.
"We're talking about two unique players who have unending talent," he is quoted as saying by Mundo Deportivo.
"We can always expect the very best from both of them."
Iniesta has captained Barca in all three Liga games this term, with club skipper Xavi left on the bench, but the 30-year-old feels his long-time team-mate will have a role to play.
"Fortunately we have players of a very high level to compete. Seasons are long and there are many games, and a team who wish to be champions need them all."
Iniesta says he is happy with the start of Barca's season after their perfect record in the opening stages.
"Every season and every stage is different. In this one, we have new people, a new coach and we're doing different things. We're just trying to carry them out on the pitch. The sensations are good."
