Neymar, Suarez, and Messi All Connect For an Exquisitely Assisted Goal

"The three kings of Orient are..."

A GOAL WORTHY OF RAY HUDSON's ELOQUENCE. @TeamMessi finishes an MSN wonder goal. 2-0 @FCBarcelona. #LaLiga https://t.co/nJokLhTpqr

Spain celebrated Three Kings Day on January 6—no, not in commemoration of the 1999 David O. Russel-directed Hollywood blockbuster hit that takes place after the first Persian Gulf War, but rather a day that the three Magi come to children and dole out gifts in lieu of Santa Claus, in celebration of the Epiphany. Well Balthazar, Malchior, and Gaspar better find a new gig in Barcelona, because Neymar, Suarez, and Messi are doling out presents left and right.

Just take a look at this insane triangulation these three cook up. The defense stands no possible chance, as the trio switches fields with lightning speed, setting Suarez up for what at first looks like a one timer. Instead, however, he converts the ball into an assist placed just far enough out of reach for everyone but Messi. Only Messi's speed could catch that kind of ball—and the keeper that much off his guard. It's stunning. You could almost call it pure gold. Or frankincense or myrrh—whatever the hell those two are.
