FIFA World Cup 2018: Strongest combined South American XI

Some of the best forwards in football at the moment are from South America

Forwards - Lionel Messi (Argentina), Luis Suárez (Uruguay) and Neymar (Brazil)

MSN is arguably the greatest attacking trio of all-time

Even though we had to choose from a long list of forwards comprising of Sergio Aguero, Paulo Dybala, Gonzalo Higuain, Angel Di Maria, Gabriel Jesus, Roberto Firmino, Douglas Costa, Radamel Falcao, Paolo Guerrero, Jefferson Farfán and Edinson Cavani, the three forwards were the easiest picks in this entire XI.

Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar famous played together at Barcelona for three seasons and the trio is now widely regarded as the greatest attacking trio of all-time.

During the three seasons ‘MSN’ played together, they scored a collective 364 goals! That’s an average of at least 121 goals every season!

It goes without saying that the hopes of their respective countries are on their shoulders. Suarez and Messi are the all-time leading goal scorers for their countries with 50 and 64 goals respectively.

Neymar with 54 goals in 84 games just needs two more goals to become Brazil’s third highest goalscorer but at the age of 26, he can easily surpass Pele and Ronaldo in 1st and second places with 77 and 62 goals respectively in due time.
