"We hope they can follow MSN's footsteps" - Fermin praises Barca attacking trio

Without a doubt the MSN is among the best attacking trios in history. The lethal combination that Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar formed back in the day at Barcelona was a real nightmare for their opponents' defenses.

The three strikers led Luis Enrique's Barcelona to the treble in 2015, and a similar situation is playing out 10 years later. Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski and Raphinha are now the three leading the ‘Cules’ attack and also aiming to win the treble in Hansi Flick's debut season.

All three shone once again on a Champions League night, helping their team almost secure their place in the Champions League semifinals after crushing Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in the first leg of the quarterfinals.

Cules' midfielder Fermin Lopez praised the attacking trio and said he hopes they can follow in the footsteps of the famous MSN. "MSN was great in their time, but this trio we have today is excellent too. We hope they can follow their footsteps," he said.

"It's a great result but we still have to play another match. I'm confident we'll qualify, we're excited to advance to the next round. When the opposing team gives you a chance, you have to punish them," he added.

"I feel like perhaps we were too anxious to score in the first half but tonight was a big and important match. Everyone did well and I was able to assist, it was a great result.
