Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez ready for Sevilla Super Cup challenge

Aiming for the sextuple, Barcelona travel to Tbilisi on Monday, where they will take on Sevilla in the European Super Cup. It's been less than a month since the team returned to work but Barcelona will be appearing in Georgia ready to start making history.

The trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez is the biggest threat thy have, the trio that helped them win the treble last season, and will be key as they assault the three trophies available to them in the rest of 2015 - the two Super Cups and the Club World Cup.

Georgia is an exotic location for the Super Cup, which Messi is hoping to welcome into his hands again, while Neymar and Suarez play in the competition for the first time.

They managed 122 goals last season, 58 from Messi, 39 from Neymar and 25 from Suarez. And this is with the Uruguayan only able to play from the end of October. Now he has completed a pre-season and is the only one of the trio to be able to have done that. 

He didn't play the Copa America thanks to the FIFA sanction on his shoulders and from July 13 he's been training with his team-mates. Neymar and Messi, however, have only played for about an hour in the Joan Gamper trophy against Roma earlier this week.

With the three forwards back together, Barça are more Barça. Now they are going for the sextuple which they won in 2009 under Pep Guardiola, when that team beat Shakhtar in the European Super Cup, Athletic in the Spanish Super Cup and Estudiantes de la Plata in the club World Cup, giving Barcelona six titles in one year and putting them on another level. Pedro was the only player to score in all six competitions. Interestingly, the Canary Islander may well be playing his last Barcelona game in Tbilisi.

There's an element of revenge for Barcelona in this Super Cup, with Sevilla beating Frank Rijkaard's Barça 3-0 in the same competition in 2006, in Monaco. From that team only Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi remain.

The game will be special for Dani Alves too, who could equal Paolo Maldini's total of four Super Cups. The Brazilian won in 2006 with Sevilla - against Barça - in 2009 against Shakhtar and 2011 vs Porto.

Luis Enrique's line up should have few doubts. Ter Stegen is likely to start, arriving in better shape than Claudio Bravo because of his longer pre-season. In defence, the absence of Jordi Alba means Mathieu will probably be left-back, Pique and Mascherano in the middle and Alves at right-back. The strikers pick themselves - it's the trident - with Busquets, Iniesta and Rakitic the likely midfield trio.
After completing an irregula preseason and with the Gamper win as a hopeful sign, the team has now started preparing for the official season. The sextuple awaits Barcelona.
