The Catalan club wrote on their official website: “Astonishingly, not only is this the first time Neymar has won the Spanish League’s player of the month award, it is the first time any Barcelona player has taken it home at all.”
Real Madrid have had three winners – Cristiano Ronaldo (twice) and Karim Benzema – while 2013-14 champions Atletico Madrid have been represented six times.
Luis Enrique’s side lead La Liga by two points after 14 games, with Neymar top of the goal charts with 14 – one ahead of Barca teammate Luis Suarez.
