Neymar had been enduring his worst scoring drought since arriving in Barcelona, but he got one in his team's 5-3 friendly win over Al Ahli in Qatar on Tuesday. In Sunday's Spanish league game against Espanyol, Neymar will be trying to score his first goal in an official match since he signed a three-year contract extension with Barcelona almost two months ago. Neymar's last goal for the Catalan club came in the 4-0 win over Manchester City in the group stage of the Champions League on Oct. 19, two days before the new contract was signed to keep the Brazil striker in Barcelona until June 2021.
