DBasia.news – Barcelona once ruled Europe in the 2014-2015 season by winning treble winners. At that time their front liner was filled with MSN trio consisting of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar.
At that time the combination of the trio from Latin America was really deadly. All three contributed 122 goals in all competitions.
Unfortunately the trio combination ended in the summer of 2017. Neymar chose to move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) with a transfer fee that broke the record for the world’s most expensive player.
Former Barcelona player, Javier Mascherano apparently missed the sweet moment. He hoped Neymar will return to Barcelona and continue the ferocity of the MSN trio.
“One day, I watched the final (Champions League 2015) in Berlin again and what made the attacking trio was very impressive, namely Neymar, Suarez and Messi. Each of them has a position in the team, continued to press after losing the ball and control ,” Mascherano said in an interview with RAC1.
The 2015 Champions League Final against Juventus has indeed become one of the stages of the greatness of the MSN trio. Messi, Suarez and Neymar’s movements are so fluid that it makes Barcelona’s attack patterns difficult to anticipate.
In a match that ended with a score of 3-1 for Barcelona’s victory, the MSN trio was involved in Barcelona’s three winning goals. Neymar and Suarez even listed their names on the scoreboard.
“They added a deadly breakdown in our game. I hope Neymar returns to Barcelona and they can play together again. That would be good for the club and the fans,” he added.
Mascherano’s hopes are very likely to come true. Barcelona did try to repatriate Neymar back in order to be able to repeat the achievements in 2015.
