“Time will tell whether Barcelona has assembled the greatest front three ever seen in the club game. But for now, there is little question that this forward line is the most hyped in soccer. That’s what you get when you take Lionel Messi and Neymar and add Luis Suarez to the mix, as the Catalan club did over the summer. Messi, 27, is in the conversation as the greatest player ever and is a four-time Ballon d’Or winner. Suarez, also 27, was the joint-top goalscorer in Europe last season and won both the writers’ and players’ awards as the English Premier League Footballer of the Year. Neymar, still just 22, is the man on who carried Brazil’s World Cup hopes and arguably the most credible candidate to take the “Best Player in the World” crown once Messi and his arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo are ready to hand it over.” WSJ
