FC Barcelona's team of the decade

Forwards

Right-wing - Lionel Messi

The greatest player in the history of Barcelona

If there was ever an obvious inclusion in a list, this is it. Quite simply the greatest player to ever wear the Barcelona jersey, Lionel Messi has been at the club since Frank Rijkaard, right down to Ernesto Valverde. The current Barcelona captain is still the one who makes the team tick.

With five Ballon d'Ors, six Golden Boots and numerous trophies to his name, Messi has become synonymous with Barcelona. His contributions for the team are simply too many to count, and the day he leaves the club might just be the saddest day in modern Barcelona history.

Striker - Luis Suarez

Suarez may go down as the best striker in Barcelona history

When Luis Suarez moved to FC Barcelona from Liverpool, he was surrounded by a lot of controversies. One year later, he scored a goal in the Champions League final and was a treble winner with the Catalan club. In his first season with the club, Suarez scored 25 goals and assisted 20 more.

Suarez has scored an astounding 307 goals in 449 Barcelona appearances and is the only player in this decade to win the European Golden Boot over Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. By the time he is done, Suarez may go down as statistically the best striker in Barcelona history.

Left-wing - Neymar

Although his time at Barca was short, Neymar's impact was immense

In truth, either of David Villa or Pedro could fit into this front three alongside Messi and Suarez. However, the numbers speak for themselves - Neymar scored 105 goals in 186 Barcelona appearances and was the third member of the greatest attacking trident in football history.

MSN - Messi, Suarez, Neymar, won the treble in their first season together, scoring 122 goals together. Neymar was a machine with the Catalan club, and Barcelona has not yet managed to replace him. As such, it would be an injustice to not include him here.
