No team on the planet passes the ball quite like Barcelona. The tiki-taka masters display a telepathic connection on the pitch that leads to some magisterial build up play and fantastic goals. Thanks to FC Barcelona’s official YouTube page, we can now watch Barcelona’s top 10 assists of the 2015-16 season.
We can't wait for the Olympics. Rio is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and Brazil is sure to be a wonderful host. It's going to be a safe and fun Olympic games for all involved!

Neymar’s brilliant 2015-16 season with Barcelona resulted in the Brazilian forward inking a new five-year contract with the club, including a staggering release clause starting at £167 million.
Neymar scored a personal best 24 La Liga goals last campaign. He added four in the Copa del Rey and three in the UEFA Champions League — a grand total of 31 goals in 49 appearances.
Before they were playing in front of thousands of adoring supporters, before they earned the multi-million dollar contracts and endorsements, world famous footballers were just awkward teens like anyone else at that stage in life.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Neymar, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Beckham are all world renowned for their skills on the pitch. As often as we like to delve into what made them footballing greats, their embarrassing pubescent years remained largely a mystery.
Until now. Check out the video and fun facts below.
If anyone thought that Brazil crashing out of a tournament that arguably doesn’t matter was going to kill Neymar’s Summer of Partying 2016, you were dead wrong.
Neymar has been hitting up the United states recently, hanging out with the likes of Justin Bieber and Jamie Foxx.
Footage has surfaced of him partying at a Las Vegas pool, and it was every bit as over the top as you imagine.
Neymar's acting career is reportedly off to a hot start while he waits his turn to represent Brazil this summer. The Brazil captain will evidently appear in the next xXx movie with Vin Diesel.
Wait, what? Like Vin Diesel the person? Not some copycat Vin Diesel look-alike? Oh, this is going to be grand.
We, for one, can't wait for xXx: State of the Selecao, or whatever it's called. Look at this Instagram post and tell us you're not excited for this.
Neymar went to a Mets game for some reason. During his visit to Citi field the Brazil National Team captain decided to try his luck in the batting cages. It went about as well as you'd expect from a person who makes his living with his feet and not his hands.
When former Marine Jake Sully first entered his Na’vi-human hybrid in the 2009 sci-fi film Avatar, he couldn’t control his excitement — he delighted in his newfound athleticism while embracing the pastoral beauty of the planet Pandora. It was a scientific breakthrough, the likes of which hadn't been replicated up until yesterday. Yesterday, Neymar had his own Jake Sully moment.
Down a man after only 36 minutes and without Luis Suarez, their leading scorer, Barcelona were still able to overcome Sevilla after extra time in Sunday's Copa del Rey final thanks to a brilliant assist from Lionel Messi to Jordi Alba. Neymar added a second goal in the 122nd minute off of another great pass from Messi.
Barcelona, recently crowned La Liga champions, faced off against Sevilla, recent winners of the UEFA Europa League, at the Vicente Calderon Stadium in the Spanish capital of Madrid.
When the Brazilian Federation announced that Neymar would be representing his national team at the Olympics and not the Copa America Centenario this summer, soccer fans in Pasadena, Orlando and Foxborough released a collective groan.
Without their star player, will Brazil still be "can’t miss" as a traveling spectacle? Formerly descending upon cities like the Harlem Globetrotters with their dazzling array of tricks, skills and household names, you can’t help but feel that this Brazilian squad is comparatively poor.
