Messi-Suarez 'penalty of the century' hailed as instant classic

Barcelona star Neymar claimed he was meant to be the recipient of Lionel Messi's sensational pass from a penalty that was converted by Luis Suarez as the European champion routed Celta Vigo 6-1 on Sunday.

Messi and Suarez combined to score one of the classiest penalties in soccer history as Messi squared his spot kick for the onrushing Suarez to complete his hat-trick ahead of Neymar.

"It was designed for me, we had practised it, but Luis was closer," Neymar told Barca TV.
