Robert Pires and Thierry Henry tried it and ended up with egg on their faces. Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez tried it and executed it to perfection.
The penalty pass is one of those footballing creatures that is rarely seen, but always loved. What Messi and Suarez did on Sunday night against Celta Vigo was the culmination of two of the World's best strikers at the peak of their powers.
Not for the first time this season, Luis Suarez was on course for a La Liga hat-trick when Barcelona were given a penalty in the final ten minutes of the game. Regular penalty taker Messi decided to fulfill his duties but decided to pass to Suarez who slotted the ball home. Wouldn't it be too easy to just let the Uruguayan take the penalty?
We should just gaze upon the Barcelona attack. Messi and Suarez along with Neymar are making Barcelona games become a must-see no matter who they are against.
