Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better Pt. 24,807

The incessant oneupsmanship between Barcelona and Real Madrid will never end. Not unless its found out that Real Madrid is too sleeping with its international teammate’s baby momma and booted from the squad. At the moment, Barcelona has the advantage in just about everything except money spent and toxic hair gel used. This was also the case with the assist of the year, Zlatan’s backheel onto Pedro. Real can now throw another trinket into the trophy cabinet, rendering Zlatan’s assist to second best.

The goal was scored by Karim Benzema, but it was hardly his goal. Rather the goal of a patiently blistering counter-attack and the eyes-in-the-back-of-his-head-or-maybe-just-really-really-good-peripheral-vision Guti. Yes, that Guti.

It can be forgotten that Guti, who’s been more famous recently for princessy tantrums, suitors from abroad and questions as to whether he likes princesses or princes, is actually a mighty slick passer of that little sphere.

Of course Guti got an assist on the assist from the soaked ground, which made the ball appear to have backspin and set itself on a tee, but it’s still a brilliant moment of vision…or lack thereof.

    this is probably the better of guti's backheeling assist :)
  • The Truth
    Zlatan's assist was great and all but he wasnt looking for pedro he was looking for Henry rather so he somewhat got lucky
  • Nani's was better than all of them.
  • Guti's was good but I still think Ibra's was better. Surrounded by players and still managed to get the inch perfect pass off.
  • Mike
    Zlatan's assist was better, but Guti made an extremely unselfish pass that bettered the team and played a great game all around.

    Yeah, Sause, but...yeah, you're right.
  • I don't get it - my highschool coach told me never to use the heel! Why the lies,why why why

    Too bad Liverpool fans have nothing good to submit this year...

    Older, but I submit Torres to Gerrard against Everton last season. Howard likely should have done better, but sexy assist nonetheless.

    Ibra has made another very special assist for Barc where he was already deep inside the penatly box, surrounded by like 4 or 5 players, and somehow he gets the ball via backheel to... was it Pedro???
    Unfortunately, I can't remember the match, but for me it was the best assist so far.
