25 Greatest Soccer Passes on YouTube

Thomas AtzenhofferNov 29, 2011

Youtube has revolutionized the way we all look at the world of football. Between player, team and action compilations, there are endless amounts of video to search through.

Managing to pull together 25 of the best passes on the social video site turned out to be more daunting than you would think, and there are still loads of more passes that are out there buried and yet to be seen.

I encourage all of you to comment on the following top 25 as well as add links to others you may have found so that we can all enjoy even more of the beautiful game's product.

Cristiano Ronaldo Back Pass

Cristiano Ronaldo is his usual flashy self with this back pass that was either going to be brilliant or make him look like a fool. Luckily for him, the result was not the latter.

Andres Iniesta over the Top
