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. https://twitter.com/TylerLewis23/status/669271564895035393 It still doesn't make up for what he was wearing before kick-off, though.
