What is the name of this kind of pass, done with the outside of the foot?

I found a thread in Twitter where they show a pass by Lionel Messi. Next messages show others players performing it such as David Silva. Is there a specific name for this kind of pass or is it just a pass with the outside of the foot ?

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

The technique of putting curl on a ball with the outside of the foot is known as a trivela , which is a Portuguese term. Another notable example would be Roberto Carlos' bending free kick against France in 1997. There is as far as I know no specific word for a pass with the outside of the foot specifically.
