  DID YOU KNOW?

  Neymar was not among the goals, but he helped to tie the Cruzeiro defence up in knots. They struggled to contain him at times, with the 33-year-old showing how destructive he can be when playing with confidence and free of any physical ailments.

  One incident saw Neymar burst into the box from the left wing, before turning quickly and leaving his marker on the turf. As his rival got back up, the ex-Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain playmaker spun again and left Fabricio Bruno chasing shadows.
