MSN will soon be the highest-scoring trio in Spanish footballing history!

Neymar's return to training, and the earlier-than-expected return of Messi has meant that Luis Enrique has been able for the first time to have all three members of his attacking triumvirate available to him in the pre-season.

That attacking trio made up of the Argentinean, the Brazilian and Uruguayan Luis Suárez, who astounded the whole of Europe last season with his goalscoring, is back together again, and full of ambition to go on making history whilst wearing the Barcelona shirt.

Last season, the three South American forwards were the highest-scoring trio in Spanish footballing history. None has previously achieved 122 goals in just one season in all compétitions.

Prior to that, the honour belonged to the Real Madrid trio of Benzema, Higuaín and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2011-2012, who reached a figure of 118 when Mourinho was the manager.

Having got this far, the next step is for the three players to try and improve further upon their scoring figures in the upcoming season. It is worth recalling at this juncture that at the start of last season Barça had only Neymar and Messi, as Luis Suárez was sanctioned by FIFA.

Due to that fact, there is a chance of improving on the figure as, if they could get to 122 without one of their number for part of the season, then in the season which is about to start things could get even better.
