Watch: Messi-Suarez connection slices Real Betis open

Lionel Messi is the best passer on the planet, which is equal parts unfair and frightening.

The diminutive Argentine put his unmatched creative skills on display in Saturday's contest against Real Betis, splitting the home side apart with an inch-perfect ball into the path of Luis Suarez.

The striker, at fault for blowing a prime opportunity earlier in the match, made no mistake this time around, sliding the ball home to help his side claim a 2-0 win and regain top spot in La Liga.

Suarez now leads Cristiano Ronaldo by four goals in the race for the Pichichi.
