Assist of the Week - Sunday 16th May 2010

This time there's no multiple assists to choose from, just one fantastic display of playmaking from a player who's had the season of his life.

Class. Pure class. Any idea how many assists the Messiah has notched this campaign?

And I just saw the post below. Cheers!
Glad I could help :)
Ill hug Messi's nuts as much as the next guy and this was a great run and all but im sorry, look back at the assists of the week and this probably wouldnt have made the top 10.... based on just the assist.
He dribbled two guys, played a give and go and then gave Pedro a nice pass, a truly beautiful play and symbolizes everything we love about teamwork and Barca but the pass was nothing out of the ordinary.

On Messi's first goal, Yaya Toure made a great move and a very nice crossing pass and the pass on Messi's 2nd goal was also top quality.

Barcelona has always a few 'take my breath away' passes each game, this wasnt one of those.

The cheeky heel pass in the Real Madrid game though was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fnNqOvVFC8&fe...

But you spoil us so dont take this as a criticism, a great play is always worth seeing.

Please, please, keep this up for the WC !!!

You're right, the pass itself wasn't that special but I take the whole move into account, the reason I named it assist of the week and not pass of the week was to give scope for including brilliant moves such as this.

Anyway I couldn't be bothered to make a proper video this week, I was considering including both of those assists you mentioned but decided it wasn't worth the effort considering how little football was played last week (in the major European leagues).

I'm always open to feedback so your comment is welcome.

I'll be carrying on throughout the WC, not sure if I'll do it weekly or at the end of the tournament though.

Cheers.
