Barcelona 4-1 CD Alaves: 4 talking points as Blaugrana cruise to victory | LaLiga 2019/2020

#2 Barcelona's front three come to the party

FC Barcelona v Deportivo Alaves - La Liga

On paper, Barcelona have arguably the best-attacking trio in world football and while they might not have exactly set the world ablaze thus far, their quality cannot be denied. They have shown glimpses of this quality but the frustration for fans has been that it has not come as frequently as it did when the famed 'MSN' terrorized opposition defences at will.

However, it must be remembered that even Neymar, Suarez, and Messi took some time to get going and with Griezmann's improving form, it seems like the latest celebrated front three is getting into gear. As already stated, the former Atletico Madrid man opened the scoring, before his skipper broke a two-game 'drought' when he dribbled past no less than five Alaves defenders before finding the top left corner.

A penalty was awarded soon after that after VAR review deemed that Martín Agirregabiria had handled in the area and Messi magnanimously handed the spot-kick duty to his friend Luis Suarez, who made no mistake from 18 yards out.

With his goal, it meant that all three of Messi, Griezmann, and Suarez got on the scoresheet, marking the 4th time that this has happened this season and brought the total for the trio to 30 goals in the league which means that Barcelona's front three have outscored all clubs in LaLiga apart from Real Madrid and Villareal.

While they might have some way to go before matching the illustrious heights of MSN, Barcelona's latest terrific trio are slowly getting into gear and this would serve as a warning to their rivals domestically and on the continent.
