Neymar came off the bench to score twice as Barcelona defeated a stubborn Athletic Bilbao to maintain their 100% start to the La Liga season.
The Brazilian, making his second Barca appearance since injuring his back at the World Cup, came on in the 63rd minute for a struggling home side.
He quickly made his presence felt with a neat finish following Lionel Messi's pass to break Bilbao's resistance.
And he sealed the win with a close-range finish from another Messi assist.
The goals were the 22-year-old's first since 26 March, when he scored twice in a 3-0 home win over Celta Vigo, and mean Barca have now won all three of their opening games this campaign.
