The trio have been in stunning form this season and they have already scored 100 goals this season. We all know Messi’s brilliance but coupled with Suarez’s tenacity and Neymar’s dazzling skills, MSN is almost impossible to defend against.
Not only are they each brilliant individually, they also have a wonderful camaraderie with each other.
Messi who was absolutely sensational against Arsenal in the Champions League said that friendship between MSN is what makes them so successful.
Messi speaking to the official website of UEFA said: "It's wonderful playing with them. We get along really well on and off the pitch.
"We really are friends and that is really important to enable us to play this kind of football."
With am amazing front three, Barcelona will be confident of outscoring any opponent in the continent.
Champions League Draw
With the round of 16 having some very competitive matches in the Champions League, at least 2 teams capable of challenging Barcelona’s supremacy will get eliminated in this early stage itself. PSG vs Chelsea and Bayern vs Juventus will see 2 of the best teams in Europe getting eliminated leaving Barcelona with a slightly easier draw to navigate in the remainder of the Champions League.
Threats – Shaky defence and Fatigue
The only possible weakness in this superb Barcelona side has been their inability to keep clean sheets. The defensive pairing of Pique and Mascherano have been solid for most of the time, but they are prone to making costly errors which lead to goals on some occasions.
Also, Barcelona have played more matches than any other team in the La Liga having already made the Copa Del Rey final as well. Winning a treble is never easy and winning it twice in a row is possible only for this stunning team.
The stress and fatigue of participating in this competitions is not only physical but, it is also mental requiring players to maintain their calm and composure in the most testing of situations. Also, with their great rivals Real Madrid completely focussing only on the Champions League, Barcelona will know that the road to glory is a long and winding one.
Opportunity – Cement their place as one of the best club football teams in history
Barcelona are in a stunning run of form lately and they are unbeaten in 36 matches. With big stars like Messi, Neymar and Suarez firing on all cylinders, Barcelona might just do the impossible and win the Champions League and treble again.
If they do that, we can safely say that Luis Enrique’s Barcelona side will go down as one of the best in history eclipsing even Pep Guardiola’s dominant Barcelona side.
