5 former Barcelona superstars who enjoyed a great connection with Lionel Messi on the pitch

#2. Neymar Junior

Alongside Luis Suarez, the Brazilian developed a telepathic relationship with Leo on the pitch

The only attacker on the list, Paris Saint Germain winger Neymar Junior is also among the few ex-Barcelona superstars who shone alongside Argentine maestro Messi during their time together at the Nou Camp

The Brazilian joined the Catalan giants in a mega move from his native club, Santos FC during the summer of 2013 and while he did prove his amazing talent alongside Messi in his first year at the club, it is actually the following season that his relationship with the Argentine really skyrocketed.

With the signing of Luis Suarez from Liverpool in 2014, Barcelona arranged perhaps the greatest attacking trio in football history, with the Uruguayan joining Neymar and Messi at the Nou Camp to form a deadly attacking trident famously called the 'MSN'.

Messi was the head but Neymar played a fantastic role during their time together, with the Brazilian scoring freely and ensuring that the team did not lack creativity. He also had a telepathic understanding with his attacking mates and they were able to score over 100 goals in each of the three seasons they spent together.
