WATCH: Raul Garcia’s no-look backheel volleyed assist is exactly as awesome as it sounds

Amazing

You’ll be doing well to find an assist that’s as nonchalantly badass as Raul Garcia’s on Thursday night.

Gary Neville isn’t enjoying the best of times at the helm of Valencia at the moment. The under fire coach was sent to the stands as his team were sent crashing out of the Europa League on the dreaded away goals rule by fellow La Liga outfit Athletic Bilbao.

Valencia looked on course to progress by going 2-0 up on the night over their Spanish rivals with goals coming from Santi Mina Aderlan Santos.

However, by far the highlight of the game was Aritz Aduriz’s crucial late goal that secured Athletic’s place in the next stage. It was really the flicked assist from Raul Garcia that made it though. We could watch that pass 100 times in a row and never grow tired of it.
