#2 Best assist
Trending
Who doesn’t love a good goal? We all do, but then again not everyone is a Lionel Messi to cut past five players and score. Many game-changing and memorable goals over the years would have been impossible if not for a brilliant pass – a brilliant delivery is as important as the last kick.
Assists were not recorded well before this century, but now stats sites keep record of every great pass and the fans have come to appreciate a playmaker as much as a striker. With the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Toni Kroos and Andres Iniesta find brilliant passes and crosses to feed their teammates, an award celebrating the best assist of a year is long overdue.
The player who assists literally makes the game, and for sure they deserve their own accolade for making the game more beautiful.
