The Barcelona forward of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar Jr. has been too hot for some team as they keep grinding out result for the Luis Enrique's side, as they are poised to win their first trophy of the season.
Brazilian forward, Neymar Jr was on Target twice as Barcelona defeated Villarreal 3-1 in the second leg of the Spanish Copa Del Rey cup to progress to the final of the cup.
The Catalans lost this same cup to the current la liga leaders, Real Madrid in the final last season, after Carlo Ancelotti defeated Barca under the tutelage of the current Argentina coach, Tata Martino 3-1.
Neymar put the Blaugrana ahead in the 3rd minute of the game and Villarreal's Jonathan dos Santos cancelled his goal in the 39th minute in the game.
The Nou Camp side took the advantage of the red card given to Villarreal's Tomas Pink and Luis Suarez, who scored two goals over the weekend doubled his side's lead in the 73rd minute, and Neymar again, scored the winner in the 88th minute of the game to give the Catalans a 6-2 victory on aggregate.
Barcelona will now face Athletic Bilbao in the final of the competition on May 30 at 18:00 hours.
Meanwhile Barcelona coach, Luis Enrique has expressed happiness over his side's victory, but insists the victory is past and he has to concentrate on the games to come.
He said that Villarreal also had chances but they were just unlucky not to have been able to convert their chances.
"It is very good but we now need to concentrate on other things. We are happy obviously," Luis Enrique told reporters.
"We didn't want an end-to-end game but one where we had control. We wanted to be able to control it without any difficult moments.
"They (Villarreal) had two or three chances in the first half and then we had more control after that. We wanted to win the game but by always being under control."
