Barcelona would be wise to rest Suarez and not risk MSN ahead of El Clasico

Despite Barcelona achieving a historical Treble last season, Luis Enrique's side have become even more dominant in his second year in charge. Physically stronger, more mature and with an improved understanding of the Asturian manager's formation, Barca, unbeaten in 38 matches, are an unstoppable winning machine.

Although the partnership between Lionel Messi, Neymar and, particularly, Luis Suarez was in its infancy last year, the three went on to score a combined 122 goals in their first season together at the Camp Nou. The South American stars' close relationship off the pitch definitely had a huge impact on their success; their connection became stronger as the season developed. Their outstanding contribution resulted in Barca conquering a fully deserved Treble that has already secured its place in history.

Encouragingly, the MSN trident have been determined to surpass their previous record from the very moment the ball started rolling in their second year together. Their impressive success at both collective and individual level, rather than bring any shade of complacency, made Barca's front three even more determined to bring further silverware to the Camp Nou museum.

Far more able to read each other's movements and predict their teammates' decisions in possession, the partnership of Messi, Neymar and Suarez has now become an even more unstoppable force that causes rival managers and opposing defenders endless worries and sleepless nights.

Having already netted a combined 106 goals, the MSN trident are now a mere 16 behind last year's tally and are on track to beat their previous record comfortably. Their relentless approach to winning, unlimited talent and cold-hearted efficiency in front of goal are all key reasons why Barcelona are now the most feared opponent in world football.
