It was tight. Valencia had built a brick wall between ball and goal, and the only way to get it to Luis Suarez was with a great deal of ingenuity.
Nine out of 10 players wouldn't have thought about it, let alone pulled it off. Neymar, and the outside of his foot, did.
The 24-year-old somehow found Suarez, whose subsequent shot did not do the setup justice. If Mesut Ozil had done it, the footage would have taken over the Twittersphere. The same goes for Kevin de Bruyne. Likewise Lionel Messi.
Neymar did it during his 100th appearance for Barcelona in La Liga but this piece of perfect playmaking and passing was one of many.
He did the same against Villarreal previously ‒ outside of the foot, a team-mate perfectly picked out, an invitation to score.
There was the back-heel assist for Andres Iniesta against Real Madrid, and another for Suarez against Real Betis that was so outstanding it sparked a debate about whether it was intentional.
