The MSN fueled Barca’s Dominance
The heart of Barcelona was undoubtedly the dynamic trio of Messi, Suarez and Neymar: the MSN. The fearsome forward line used to strike terror in the hearts of the opposition.

Leo Messi created magic out of nothing, bagged 26 goals, and the Brazilian Neymar left players twisted and turned. He scored 24 goals. The MSN was a combination of power, precision and magic.
