Messi produces crazy assist to Neymar

Meanwhile, Lionel Messi demonstrated why he is still among the top players in the world after contributing a "crazy" assist in Paris Saint-1-0 Germain's victory over Brest, Daily Mirror reports.

The former Barcelona captain jinked past a defender, before clipping the ball over the Brest defence towards Neymar who controlled superbly.

The Brazilian winger then took one touch before slamming the ball into the far corner with his left foot to help Christophe Galtier's side move back to the top of Ligue 1 with their sixth win from seven matches to date.

Neymar reveals how he has helped Lionel Messi to adapt to life at PSG

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Neymar has explained that he played a specific role in helping Lionel Messi settle into life at Paris Saint-Germain after a difficult first season.

Messi made a high-profile switch to PSG from Barcelona last summer after it became apparent that the Spanish side couldn't renew his contract.

The Argentine, arguably the best player ever, struggled to replicate his astronomical levels at PSG after he scored only a paltry six league goals.
