Vine: Lionel Messi’s pass for Neymar’s opening goal was pretty damn good

Just the eight players taken out of the game with one ball

SportsJOE

We did something just like this at five-a-side last night

There’s no real point trying to find the superlatives for Lionel Messi anymore. Everything that can be said about the Argentine wizard has been said. Sometimes you just have to sit back, watch and enjoy.

Barcelona’s opening goal in Wednesday’s Copa del Rey semi-final second leg against Villarreal was another such example. The assist from Messi was so good that Neymar basically just had to walk into the ball to score.

As pointed out there was eight Villarreal players taken out by the ball. Wow.

Barcelona went on to win 3-1 and 6-2 on aggregate.
