twice in Barcelona's 3-0 victory over BATE in the
Champions League to help the holders cope with Lionel
Messi's absence.
The Brazilian broke the deadlock at Camp Nou from the
penalty spot, assisted Luis Suarez's goal and tapped home
following a counterattack led by the Uruguayan in the 83rd
minute.
Neymar has netted eight times in his last six outings in all
competitions and wants his impressive recent displays to
continue to compensate for the injured Messi - who has not
featured for the club since September.
"We miss Leo because he's the best, but I'm in a good
moment and hope to continue that way," he said.
The former Santos man acknowledged the role Suarez had
in helping him hit the back of the net.
"I'm very happy with the result. We scored three times,
which is something we needed to do," Neymar added.
"It was a good run for my third, but Luis Suarez was vital, he
gave me a great ball.
"We must remain relaxed, we're doing a good job at this
stage of the season and scoring goals."
Neymar and Suarez have stepped up in Messi's absence,
scoring 18 of the club's last 21 goals in all competitions.
