Former Barcelona star Neymar is predicting Lamine Yamal and Raphinha will score for Hansi Flick’s side on Wednesday night in their Champions League clash with Newcastle.

Yamal seems to have been taking inspiration from Neymar ahead of the game, posting a video of the Brazilian in action on Instagram, along with the message “see you tomorrow.”

Neymar has now been asked for his prediction for the game and answered: “My predictions for tonight? 3-1 Barcelona, two goals from Raphinha and one from Yamal.”

Yamal scored at the very end of the first leg to rescue a 1-1 draw for Barcelona and put them in a good position ahead of the return.

Barcelona now know that any kind of win will send the Catalans through to the quarter-finals of the competition.

The winners of Barca’s last 16 tie look set to face Atletico next, with Diego Simeone’s side 5-2 up on Tottenham ahead of their second leg tonight.
