Even though Barcelona currently have a lot of incredible superstars who are firing on all cylinders right now, there is no way we can omit the fact that their hopes of winning a historic treble this season relies heavily on their captain, Lionel Messi.

The Argentine was the one who inspired the Catalan giants to claim all three trophies in both the 2008-09 season and the 2014-15 campaign, and he has been the one leading the charge as Ernesto Valverde's men look forward to another historic year at the Catalan capital this term.
Messi has been in sensational form since the beginning of the campaign, bagging an incredible 15 goals and 11 assists for La Blaugrana in 15 LaLiga appearances, as well as finding the back of the net a whopping 6 times in 4 appearances in the UEFA Champions League.
It is actually these efforts which have kept the Spanish champions on the right path to claim the treble this season.
