Celtic were the latest side to face the wrath of this enigmatic trio who are undoubtedly the best front line in football at this moment. Neymar, after the game against Celtic, said that the on-field chemistry between the three is down to the brilliant camaraderie they share off the field.

Neymar stated that the reason behind the trio's immense success since playing together.was due to their incredible understanding.
While speaking to Goal, the Brazilian said, "It was special for the three of us to play together for the first time this season and we are very pleased with our performance. We are at a place now where we know the way each other thinks, the runs we make, the positions we will be in.

The Brazilian continued gushing about his strike partners, "We are not playing for ourselves, nobody is looking for personal glory. It is always nice to score goals, but if I score, if Luis scores, if Leo scores, it doesn't matter - we are as happy creating goals for each other as scoring them. Our understanding on the field is helped by our relationship off it. We are all good friends, and I think that shows in the way we play. It is very early in the season, we can get better, and help make it a very successful season for Barcelona."
