Neymar was tackled a lot by the following players in the Clasico and here are the reasons : (made up stuff though :)

1-Neymar asked Isco what the score was
2-He told James (¡Ponte las pilas!)
3-He told Danilo Chupa essa manga
4-He told Modric that he looks like a Goat
5-He asked Dani Carvajal if he has ever been in mental institution

"Barcelona took command of the game after 10 minutes when they opened the scoring through Luis Suarez. The key to the goal, however, was the positioning and movement of Sergi Roberto. A midfielder rather than a natural forward, he played in the midfield zone rather than up against Marcelo, effectively helping to overload Real in the centre of the pitch, the way Barcelona used to with Andres Iniesta in big games during the Pep Guardiola era.

With Real sometimes man-marking in midfield rather than keeping a solid shape, Sergi Roberto simply wandered in behind the Real midfield to receive a pass from Sergio Busquets (it’s notable how he points to where he wants the pass, seeing the wide open space) and slips in Suarez, making his typical lateral run to the outside. Sergi Roberto had touched the ball four separate times during the move.

For all Suarez, Neymar and Andres Iniesta’s brilliance, they shone when Barcelona were ahead – it was Sergi Roberto who was most crucial when this game was still a contest."

"To put the blame squarely upon Benitez would be unfair. He surely would have appreciated the importance of Casemeiro, and more than anyone else, he preaches compactness. There’s surely something else at play here: presumably Benitez feeling compelled to use all his star players at the expense of a cohesive system. The omission of Casemiero, and the change in system, made no sense tactically.

With that focus on superstars – which has plagued Real for years – it was somehow fitting that the player who put Barcelona in charge was Sergi Roberto. From the teamsheets, he was the least celebrated player, its only non-international, and only present because of injury. Nevertheless, his deep, narrow positioning caused Real all kinds of problem – and and his drift inside, and neat pass to Suarez, was the moment which changed the game. From there, Real’s openness allowed Suarez, Neymar and Iniesta to shine."

This match was perhaps the most dominant display we have ever put in at the Bernabeu, what a colossal display from all our players. Tactical masterstroke from Lucho to play Sergi Roberto on the right wing, Marcelo (who has been Real's best player all season) was totally shut down.
