Former Barcelona striker Luis Suarez spoke about his special relationship with current PSG superstars Lionel Messi and Neymar

Current PSG superstars Lionel Messi and Neymar, along with Luis Suarez, formed a formidable attacking trio called MSN during their time together at Catalunya.

Suarez was engaged in a closely contested race with Cristiano Ronaldo for the Golden Boot award in 2015-16. The Uruguayan revealed how Messi and Neymar helped him win the award.

He said (via Placar):

"When I was fighting for the 2016 European Golden Shoe with Cristiano Ronaldo, they helped me win. They let me take penalties, they gave me passes to score more goals… and I'll always be grateful for that."

The trio broke when Neymar left Barcelona in 2017 for a world record fee and arrived in France.
