Gerrard to Demba Ba
Top 10 greatest assists ever
- Thread starter Gehrman
- Start date
Kaka's to Crespo against Liverpool is still my all time favourite, never will I ever see a better pass.
Even better having just mugged off Gerrard as well.

I was at that game, will always remember the 'Ohhhhhh' from the crowd. Magic.Berba to Ronaldo is the GOAT assist
The play that starts at 1.00 minute. Playmaker Belkevich takes out almost the entire Arsenal defensive shape with a brilliantly weighted first touch pass.
This is the correct answerBerba to Ronaldo is the GOAT assist
Easily McClair to Cantona versus Sunderland '96.
Cantina to Irwin vs Spurs. Unbelievable first time outside of the foot chip pass:
It’s absolutely fecking outrageous.

EDIT: Also this for a bit of variation on great passes.
I love this as even though it came at a time when he was a mile past his best it is almost the perfect encapsulation of everything brilliant about Wayne Rooney.
Pogba had 2 or 3 for France that were pretty special.
The vision of Laudrup was just something else.
Nani to Rooney against AC Milan outside of the boot.
Oh yes.
Carrick to Hernandez in the 4-3 win vs Newcastle in 2012/2013 is another beauty.
Kaka against Liverpool is my favourite
also Iniesta against... someone?? forget who it was but he danced around a couple of players and slotted it through

Gilardino to Del Piero, WC 2006 sf, extra time, soon after Grosso’s goal 
Veron should have a handful on mentions by now... His side foot lob pass to Ruud in the US tour has always stood out for me.
Veron to Solskjaer vs Deportivo

Don't know if it would get in top 10 but always liked it. Such a gifted player Mata.
Lovely weighted passes.
I know it's not the done thing to admit that he can do good things. But Rashford's assist for Pogba against Bournemouth was absolutely ridiculous.
The little feint to cut inside then shimmy past the second defender is beautiful.
Can't think of any that haven't been mentioned other than Maradona to Burruchaga in 1986.
It's far from perfect, although the nervous late game hoofball preceding it makes it look special.
A bit short so Burruchaga has to stall a bit waiting for it. Neither is it a tap-in like others which had all the work done prior by the assister.
The real beauty of it though is a few days earlier, after all his wonder goals, Diego told Burruchaga: "you know what is great? They will have all their attention on me, not you. The moment will come and I will find you".
Then at 2-2 on minute 84 that moment comes and it's just pure belief that it was written from Burruchaga.

Giggs to van Persie vs West Ham was better than Rooney to van Persie
Gary Pallister to Steve Bruce vs Sheffield Wednesday
Gary Neville left footed clip to Andy Cole vs Spurs 1999.
Modric to Rodrygo vs Chelsea
Cantona to Irwin vs Spurs
Redondo to Raul vs Utd

Veron outside of the foot dink to Ruud who volleys it in against Juventus in a pre season friendly.

I didn't know it, everything perfect, Rud's goal was fantastic too
PD: not being a didk, but Cantona's one in such style looks a bit too much stiff for my taste, don't kill me. This one from Veron reminds me the Burruchaga's one for Diego in 86 against Belgium
This is my favourite too & soon as i saw the thread title Kaka To Crespo in the CL final is what came to mind.
The way he turns around the midfielder and makes a pass that breaks through two liverpool defenders is just beautiful and the finish is so sweet aswell.
Please post a video as i have no ability to do so. Thanks!
This was the first that came to mind for me as well.
Gilardino to Del Piero, WC 2006 sf, extra time, soon after Grosso’s goal
Best part is Caressa and Bergomi
Fabregas to Schurrle against Burnley in 2014/2015 is probably the greatest assist I can recall from the top of my head, just ridiculous.
Ozil probably has dozens I can’t specifically remember, he was that good.

Sickened that it took someone this long to mention it.
That's a ridiculously good pass, but the finishing is brilliant too and not a tap-in in any way, shape or form
Peak Iniesta was a fecking monster.
