Barcelona's been the home of legends for a long time. They have bought up legends like Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Carles Puyol and so on. All the big names with almost no haters in the list, unless you support their rivals, like Espanyol and Real Madrid.
However, there are a few who are criticised for playing in a manner which should not be performed in, but even those who criticise know separating the criticism the players are great with some unique talent that brings the result to the respective club.
It's been two years now since Barcelona have managed to make another legendary trio for their team but let's take a look at three of the greatest trios Barcelona has ever had.
1. Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta.
This trio was seen in their prime in 2009 when Pep Guardiola won the Sextuple with FC Barcelona. Under the guidance of the current Manchester City manager, Lionel Messi and Xav and Andres Iniesta had significant roles at the Catalan club, which continued even after Guardiola's Camp Nou exit.
The trio was the reason behind the successful major add-on trophy to Barcelona. Their performance was so notable that when Lionel Messi won the Ballon D'or the following year, Xavi Hernandez was the runner-up of the contest.
54 of the Argentine international's club goals came out of the assists from Xavi and Andres Iniesta. Xavi provided 23, while Iniesta provided 31.
2. Lionel Messi, David Villa, and Pedro
Another most celebrated trio for Barcelona was the front line of Barcelona. All Real Madrid fans know this trio as it was one of the deadliest frontlines for the era they played. During this era, the classic had the most entertaining matches and results and included fights which looked epic from the view of a person who enjoys entertainment.
Nutmegs, chips, stunners, David Villa had it all against the greatest keepers, including Iker Casillas. Pedro was the most selfless player of FC Barcelona during the time. He used to look for the benefit of the team rather than achieving stats for himself. FC Barcelona's one of the biggest mistake was selling a loyal player who always wanted the better of the team.
Messi, Villa and Pedro have scored a combined 70 goals, a genuinely disbelieving number. Messi has scored 35 (in 31 games),David Villa 17 (in 27) and Pedrito 18 (in 32).
3. Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar
Everybody who watches football will know what dynamic of a trio this was. Messi continues to be still the central element of every great trio Barcelona has produced. This trio didn't want much help from midfield to be honest.
They lined up together as a front 3 and kept banging goals one after another only expecting the team to defend well at the back. With this help, Barcelona achieved another sextuple in 2015/16 season under Luis Enrique.
Of the three,Lionel Messi has scored the most goals with 104, with Luis Suarez netting 94 and Neymar 66. Luis Suarez tops the assists rankings, though, with 48 - one more than Lionel Messi's 47 and well above Neymar's 34.
