Fans are convinced Lionel Messi 'meant' his astonishing assist for Neymar
Fans are convinced Lionel Messi 'meant' his astonishing assist for Neymar in Paris Saint-Germain's Ligue 1 opener against Clermont Foot.
Messi wasted no time influencing the game, incredibly setting up Neymar in the ninth minute of their fixture on Saturday.
Pablo Sarabia played a ball into Messi who delicately flicked the ball behind him with his weaker right foot.
He appeared to guide the ball to his Brazilian teammate who fired home with a low drive.
