Neymar Scores Free-Kick on a Fifth Floor of Hollywood Building

Is this the most amazing free-kick you've ever seen?

Brazilian superstar Neymar took set pieces to a whole new level - roughly the fifth floor, in fact - when he made an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Live TV show in the United States.

The Barcelona forward was set the task of beating Kimmel's sidekick Guillermo from a dead ball position. Not too tough for one of the world's best footballers? True, but there was a twist.

Neymar had to shoot from the rooftop of one Hollywood Boulevard building, across the famous Tinseltown street and into a goal on top of the Dolby Theatre, fully 40 yards away and next to the famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Attempt number one came close, as Neymar's right-footed effort bounced off the wall of the opposite building and bounced around among the parked cars below.

Attempt number two was weak, and barely reached the second floor.

And then came attempt number three. Guillermo dived - well, fell downwards is probably a more accurate description - but couldn't keep it out.

While Neymar was playing up for the cameras Stateside, his Brazil team-mates were preparing for their showdown with Argentina in Melbourne on Thursday.
