Luis Suarez: Uruguayan superstar thanked Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr. for helping him secure the Golden Boot.
Between 2014 and 2017, Barcelona arguably had the most fearsome attacking trio in the league. Nicknamed the MSN trio MESSI, SUAREZ, AND NEYMAR dominated the field and scored remarkable goals. Thanks to their explosiveness, the Blaugrana won their second continental treble in the 2014-15 season.
In the next season, they won the La Liga Title, and Suarez emerged as a goal scorer catching the Pichichi trophy with 40 goals in 35 games, good enough for the Uruguayan to win his first Golden Boot.
In an interview with Brazillian outlet Place, the Gremio forward looked back on his first and only Golden Boot win. Gracious as ever, Suarez thanked Messi and Neymar for helping him reach the podium. “For us, Messi was the best in the world, and for me, Neymar was the second best, but they helped me win the Golden Boot. I will always be grateful,” said Suarez. Suarez also revealed the secrets behind the trio’s unparalleled success “It is further proof that three stars together can play in the same team to win for the team, not individually. And I think that’s what made us better and good teammates,” Suarez added.
When MSN was disbanded in 2017, Neymar was lured by Paris Saint-Germany (PSG). Suarez believes his former teammate should have said no to the Parisians and would have won the Ballon d’Or if he stayed at Camp Nou.
Suarez said, “If Neymar had stayed at Barcelona, he would have won a Ballon d’Or, for sure. My opinion is that if I had stayed, he would have won”.
Messi was the last of the ‘MSN‘ trio at Barcelona after Suarez was hired by Atletico Madrid in 2020. The former Liverpool man scored 21 goals in 32 La Liga games next season to help Roj Rojiblancos to the Spanish top-flight title.
