Neymar has struggled in comparison to his usual lofty standards, having his worst season since arriving at the club in 2013.
The forward has 19 goals and 20 assists – good by most standards – this season but that is a significant drop off from the last two campaigns.
Last year he scored 31 goals with 20 assists and the season before he had 39 goals and seven assists.
Barcelona could finish the season trophyless, although they still have the final of the Copa del Rey.
