Lionel Messi plays beautiful ball to set up Neymar goal

Lionel Messi showed his incredible passing ability with a perfect ball over the top of the defence, as Neymar gave PSG the lead against Brest.

All three of their famous forward trio, with Messi adding his skills to the other two, are on pretty scintillating form so far in the infancy of this campaign.

In the 30th minute, the Argentine lifted a perfect ball over the defence for Neymar to get on the end of, and the Brazilian finished brilliantly.

Things could have been worse for Brest earlier in the game, when Christophe Herelle took Neymar out about 20 yards out from goal.

That meant the decision was overturned and instead the visitors were given a free kick, see sometimes the system does actually work.

Pierre Lees-Melou wasn't as lucky however though, he'd been booked for his reaction to the red card and that couldn't be overturned.

The reprieve only lasted six minutes however, with Messi and Neymar soon combining to put the home side ahead.

The goal against Brest was the eighth of the season already for the 30-year-old in Ligue 1, who also has six assists, and has been the form players for his team.

Messi has three goals himself and the chip for his teammate was the seventh time in the league that he's set one of them up, already an improvement on last season's form.
