NEYMAR SALUTES MESSI'S MEMORABLE NIGHT

Lionel Messi stole the show again for Barcelona against Real Madrid, with suspended team-mate Neymar saluting him after a memorable night at Santiago Bernabeu. It was a topsy-turvy encounter in the Spanish capital that delivered five goals, including a last-gasp winner, a red card and more records for a mercurial Argentine playmaker. Messi became the leading goalscorer in La Liga Clasico encounters, while also reaching 500 efforts in all competitions for Barca. He reached that landmark with a stoppage-time effort to snatch a 3-2 victory, and nobody at Camp Nou is about to let Madrid forget an iconic image from the evening as Messi celebrated his dramatic strike. Neymar was suspended for Sunday's Clasico clash, with the Brazilian stung with a three-match ban for his reaction to being dismissed against Malaga on April 8.     —Agencies
