Everyone remembers great goals, but what's the best assist you can remember? An amazing defence-splitting pass? Pinpoint cross? Bit of skill?
This one was first to come to mind for me.

Frank de Boer for the Berkamp goal against Argentina comes to mind.

No contest
All assists for Ronaldo's hat-trick against Sweden were marvelous. Three great in one match only. Moutinho's passes in particular were outstanding. Three perfect goals I'd say, perfect finishes to perfect passes.
If it’s just purely on the assist, it’s just a long ball over the top. Honestly think it’s an overrated goal because Ayala forgot Bergkamp has a first touch like that
Guti's backheel.
Just taking a piss, really:
He's had a couple of brilliant overhead assists too.
edit: always worth a watch

Haven't seen that before, that's crazy.Nani for Rooney vs Milan (2009)
Ronaldinho for Xavi vs Madrid (can't remember when, 2004 or 2005)

Eric Daniel Pierre Cantona
Perhaps not THE best
My favourite as well. Ingenious and incredibly unselfish, what an assist should be.
Can't embed it so just click "Watch on YouTube"
One of my favorite's was Veron to Solskjaer in a Champions League win over Deportivo. He was on the right side near the half way line and just takes a long and beautifully strokes it with the outside of his foot and it glides across the surface past everyone and right to Ole to finish. Majestic.
Obligatory
So many by Giggs and Bekham come to mind. Also Rooneyyyy
Guti one is great to watch and unique but relatively unnecessary compared to a type like Beckham’s or kaka’s.
More recently, relatively speaking, Rooney’s assist to RVP was just about as ridiculous as they come. Granted RVP had everything to do with that goal, but I guess combined that was about as nice of a goal as you can see.
Guti is a great shout. Highly unappreciated talent outside of Spain
If only it had been allowed
2:30 in Veron to RVN
Remember Xavi's pass for Messi's header against us in the CL final. That was sublime.
Not even top 50 for me.
This springs into mind instantly
Still one of my favourites
Agree with the Kaka assist. Amazing turn and insane pass. Especially considering the game. Brilliant finish by Inzaghi too.
If only the second half didn't happen then it would be much more talked about
I wouldn't rate the assist up there with the best of them as he flicked it blindly, into the danger zone and luckily enough into Boateng's path. It could have gone anywhere really.
Still a hell of a goal though.
David for the Ronaldo goal, that mfeking curved cross, what a ball.
3 min 50sec here - it's a beauty, one pass takes 3 defenders & GK out of the game
It's a shame Messi never makes any of these lists, he's done so many outrageous things it's hard to distinguish one from the other because of it.

This has to be the best, makes the opposition's defence completely redundant.
