Football fans were quick to praise the talents of the 28-year-old Brazilian on social media.
BT Sport pundit Rio Ferdinand said: “At first I thought he didn’t mean it, then I looked at the replay and just… wow.”
Connor Doherty tweeted that the assist was “utter filth”.
Another added that “Neymar is a gift player from God”, with many others describing it as “outrageous”.
One fooball fan was simply stunned, writing that the assist was “genuinely one of the best I’ve ever seen”.
Neymar has 59 goal involvements (35 goals, 24 assists) in 59 appearances in the CL.
It’s little wonder that the attacker is constantly linked with a return to his old club Barcelona.
Even more so following their Champions League capitulation against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid winning LaLiga.
According to Sport in Spain, they are lining up a transfer offer to try and lure Neymar back to the Nou Camp.
The report states Barca will bid £54million and offer Antoine Griezmann as part of a deal.
They see their former forward, who left in 2017 to join Paris Saint-Germain for a world-record £198m, as the best option to help fix the dire problems as quickly as possible.
