Another fine selection of top assists from around this Europe, with quite a few chipped passes over the top of flat-footed defences. But for me Francesco Totti is the clear winner with a quite brilliant, first-time, sweeping, chipped, reverse through ball ... or whatever it's called.

Henry + Pires - The Perfect Combination, Part 1
Two of Arsenal's greatest ever players, Thierry Henry and Robert Pires were responsible for much of the success that the Gunners enjoyed in the first half of this decade. Along with Ashley Cole they formed one of the most potent left flanks in world football, but they were a formidable partnership in their own right.
In an age where strikers scored goals and wingers supplied them, Henry and Pires helped re-define these roles with their brilliant interchanging of positions. In their 6 years at the club together, Pires directly assisted his compatriot 22 times, while Henry returned the favour on 17 occasions.
Here is the first of a 2-part video celebrating the partnership between the 2 Frenchmen:

Assists of the Week - Sunday 3rd October 2010
This week's best assists feature some nice flicks and trick passes, my personal favourite being Marco Streller's perfectly-weighted backheel to set up strike partner Alexander Frei against Bayern.
