VIDEO: The coolest assist of the night definitely came during Barcelona’s 6-1 win

Ice in the veins

At 20 years of age, we were stumbling down steps in a lecture hall.

That’s what makes Sandro’s composed assist on Wednesday night so very impressive.

Through on goal, most 20-year-olds would have either taken a snap shot in the hope of just getting it on target or tried to snazzily take it around the onrushing goalkeeper.

Not Sandro who, to be fair, had already scored a hat-trick on a rare start for Barcelona when he decided to offer up his chance to a teammate in stunning circumstances.

The young Spaniard didn’t even have to look over his shoulder as he felt Munir El Haddadi making a run into the box, backheeled the ball into his path and left an open goal for him.

Barcelona gonna Barcelona.
