Showstopping skills: The Rainbow Flick

The rainbow flick is a brilliantly Brazilian trick, used to great effect by Barcelona star Neymar. What better way to show your dominance over a defender’s attentions than embarrassing them into submission?

It got Neymar into a bit of bother with Athletic Bilbao earlier this season, but if you bring this out on a Sunday morning, you’ll have your team-mates purring (just make sure you're wearing shinpads - the opposition may seek retribution).

Watch this video and professional football freestyler Daniel Cutting will guide you through the perfect rainbow flick execution.
