Thankfully, the legendary Dutchman’s prediction about the MNS trident went completely wrong.
“I can’t see how Barca intends to continue playing the same way, with a keen focus on team play if Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez are in the side,” Johan Cruyff told De Telegraaf shortly after Suarez’s move from Liverpool to Camp Nou in 2014.
“The three of them are too individual. In signing him, the club are showing a preference for individual genius over a team that plays great football.”

The MNS trident went on to prove the Barcelona legend wrong as they helped the Catalans claim the La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League titles in their first season together at Camp Nou.
Prior to Neymar’s exit to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, the trio netted 364 and set up 173 goals between them in a total of 450 games across all competitions.
