Enrique: 'Neymar is in good form'

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique believes that Neymar is still contributing to the team despite his recent goal struggles.

The Brazilian has hit 24 goals in 31 games for Barca this season, but has registered just once in his last six.

Enrique, however, has insisted that the forward is in good form despite a dip in front of goal.

"I don't think so, he has been helping the team out in ways that sometimes don't get noticed. He moves between the lines, creates spaces, presses... there is more to life than goals and he is doing what we ask him to," Enrique told reporters.

Barcelona face Villarreal in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final on Wednesday.
