Assist of the Week: Messi Stands Alone Once Again

This weekend we saw most European seasons come to a close, and yet, there was one assist that stood far higher than the rest. Lionel Messi may be swarmed with praise due to the fact that he has scored 47 goals this year, but this assist says everything you need to know about the little Argentine’s quality. Taking the ball from inside his own half, then gliding past three Real Valladolid players, and finally give Pedro a cool through ball, which the Spaniard to well to finish is the culmination of the 22-year-old’s ability. Messi finished this season with 11 assists in La Liga, tied with Dani Alves, and only behind Xavi who had 15. What are your thoughts on the incredible season Lionel has had?
