#2 Messi, Suarez, & Neymar

The fastest and most clinical of all the Barca attacking trios, this combination helped Barca win the Champions League in 2015, and also 2 LaLiga titles. Neymar primarily played on the left wing for Barca, and cut inside with rapid strides. He also combined very well with Messi and Suarez to trouble the opposition defenders. He scored 105 goals in 186 matches for Barca.

Suarez on the other hand, remains a clinical striker with sudden acceleration and opportunism inside the opposition penalty box. He has scored 162 goals in 217 matches for Barca.

Messi continued his runs through the inside-right channel, and played quick, one-touch passes with Suarez and Neymar to create holes in the opposition defence. Barca beat Juventus 3-1 in a very entertaining Champions League final in 2015, enthralling its supporters with a superb exhibition of skill and speed.
