There was much to swoon over in Barcelona’s 6-1 thrashing of Roma on Tuesday – from Lionel Messi scoring a sumptuous strike on his return to the starting line-up to some typically ruthless finishing from Luis Suarez.
But one moment in particular stood out as Neymar produced one of the greatest touches we’ve ever seen in the build-up to Messi’s second goal.
As a cross-field pass floated in his direction, the Brazilian flicked his right boot behind his standing left leg to collect the ball and immediately go on the attack.
It was rabona-esque in its execution, and only adds to the growing sense of feeling that Neymar has bridged the long-standing gap to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo among the world’s elite players.
This touch by Neymar is better than my future 👀😅 https://t.co/QMWxFruPI1

It still doesn’t make up for what he was wearing before kick-off, though.
