It's the two-year anniversary of the first time Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar played for Barcelona. We crunch the trio's key numbers.

The South American trident made their mark just four minutes into a clash Luis Enrique's side would eventually lose 3-1 to old rivals Real Madrid, Suarez - making his Barca debut following a four-month ban picked up for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during the 2014 World Cup - teeing up Neymar to open the scoring at Santiago Bernabeu.
Two years later, MSN are, without a shadow of a doubt, the most potent attacking force in world football.
