The trifecta known as MSN at FC Barcelona played some brilliant soccer, with the goal-scoring touch of Luis Suarez, the flair of Neymar, and the magic of Lionel Messi. It was Neymar who left Barcelona to go it alone at PSG; eventually, all three would find different paths.

Neymar is in the Saudi Pro League on a mega-contract that runs until the middle of 2025. At 32, Neymar can still offer a lot, and in a recent interview with Pollo Alvarez, Lionel Messi spoke about a possible return of MSN.

Neymar is currently recuperating from an ACL injury suffered with Brazil during World Cup qualifying against Uruguay. The ACL recovery will result in Neymar missing the 2024 Copa America.
