This Luis Suarez Assist is Sublime

Barcelona's Luis Suarez lobbed a beautiful assist to Gerard Pique in the Catalan Super Cup against Espanyol.

Usually, when Luis Suarez gets this close to the goal and creates this much space for himself, there's no doubt he's putting it in the back of the net. That's why the goalkeeper is right in his grill and that's why the goalkeeper got completely flanked when Suarez lofted a rainbow pass to the far post for Gerard Pique to head home.

Suarez cut and stopped on a dime while his defender kept going, which left only the keeper between him and the goal. At the same time, Pique was running to the post along with another defender facing the Uruguayan. Suarez, the keeper, and the new defender created a triangle of sorts, and only Suarez was able to see Pique. So he scooped the ball over them both, giving Pique an easy header to put Barcelona up 1-0 early against Espanyol in the Catalan Super Cup. Espanyol later equalized, only to lose to Barca on penalties 4-2.
