5 players with whom Lionel Messi has combined with for most goals (club + country) 

#3 Pedro - 54 goals

FC Barcelona v Malaga CF - La Liga

Pedro is one of the those players who doesn't really get the credit he deserves. He is one of those players who always got overshadowed by the superstars who came and went but had every right to be sitting among them.

Pedro joined the Barcelona youth side aged 17 and went on to make 321 appearances, scoring 99 goals and providing 62 assists.

The constant inflow of high-profile stars like Alexis Sanchez and Neymar Jr. stopped Pedro from establishing himself as a regular starter for an extended period of time. But whenever he did feature, he oozed class and quality.

Pedro was an aggressive and direct attacker who loved taking defenders on and beating them. He combined with Messi to score a total of 54 goals for Barcelona.

#2 Neymar Jr. - 56 goals

FC Barcelona v Deportivo Alaves - La Liga

Neymar Jr. joined Barcelona from Santos in 2013. He was the biggest talent to have come out of Brazil since the Ronaldos and Ronaldinhos and was tipped to succeed massively at the Camp Nou. He struggled to find his groove in the beginning but once he hit his stride, there was no stopping the Brazilian.

Neymar has always been an absolute joy to watch on the football pitch, combining his street smarts with an array of tricks to wonderful effect. With Messi and Neymar operating in the final third, opposition defenders couldn't afford to switch off for a second.

Neymar and Messi have made careers out of bamboozling opponents and they were ruthless as they brought Barcelona back to the very top of European football. Neymar left Barcelona for PSG in 2017 and football fans were distraught about the fact that they wouldn't be able to see him and Messi play together.

However, the duo have since reunited at PSG after Messi made the switch last summer. Neymar and Messi have combined to score 56 goals so far.

#1 Luis Suarez - 99 goals

Barcelona v Real Madrid - La Liga

Neymar Jr. and Lionel Messi were already wreaking havoc for Barcelona when they decided to rope in a certain Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan international had just had a phenomenal season with Liverpool, where he scored 31 goals and provided 17 assists in 33 Premier League appearances.

Predictably, Suarez fit right in with Messi and Neymar. The trio would go onto eviscerate opponents and win the continental treble together in the 2014-15 season.

Suarez is one of the greatest strikers of his generation. Alongside Messi and Neymar, he formed the famed MSN trio, which is considered one of the greatest attacking units in the history of the beautiful game.

Suarez and Messi played together at Barcelona until the end of the 2019-20 season, combining to score 99 goals.
