 Top Attacking Trios With Most Goals In Football History

In football, top players always stand out. Some players are brilliant individually; others have a unique chemistry with teammates that makes for sensational attacking play. In fact, some of the iconic football players stood out as a trio.

Below we pay respect to 5 top attacking trios with most goals in football history.

5. Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Luis Suarez (131 goals in 2015-16)

In the 2015-16 season, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar scored 131 goals between them, breaking an astounding goalscoring record. They surpassed their previous high of 122 goals, set in the 2014/15 season. At the time, Suarez scored 59 goals, Messi scored 41 goals, and Neymar scored his 31st goal in the Copa del Rey final, putting “MSN” in charge of 131 of Barcelona’s 177 goals in that season.

4. Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Gonzalo Higuain (118 goals in 2011/12)

Before Gareth Bale’s move to the Spanish capital, Cristiano and Benzema had another partner in crime in Gonzalo Higuain. The trio won the La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Supercopa de Espana in their four seasons at the club, reaching their peak in the 2011-12 campaign as they scored 118 goals together across all competitions.

3. Jonathan Soriano, Alan Carvalho, and Sadio Mane (108 goals in 2013-14)

As far as the sheer volume of goals is concerned, only Red Bull Salzburg has been able to challenge Spain’s domination. The 2013–14 Austrian team scored 108 goals thanks in large part to the efforts of Jonathan Soriano, Alan Carvalho, and Sadio Mane. With 48 goals, Soriano was far ahead of the rest of the league, followed by Carvalho with 37 and current Bayern player Mane with 25. For the second time in their club’s history, Salzburg completed the double by winning both the Austrian and European championships.

2. Lionel Messi, Samuel Eto’o, and Thierry Henry (100 goals in 2008/09)

Barcelona’s 4-3-3 formation means they’ll always be in the top three. After Pep Guardiola took over, the deadly combination of Lionel Messi, Samuel Eto’o, and Thierry Henry was blitzing opponents left, right, and center, making them the best team in the world. Messi started that season on the right and scored 38 goals in 51 appearances, with Eto’o on target 36 times in 52 games and Henry not too far behind with 26 in his 42 matches for the Catalan club en route to a treble of La Liga, Copa, and Champions League titles.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Gareth Bale (100 goals in 2014/15) (B.B.C)

No trio has won as many Champions Leagues as the B-B-C. Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, and Karim Benzema scored exactly a century of goals for Real Madrid during the 2014/15 season. The previous combined best for the trio was 97 in the 2013/14 campaign.
