The first of many magical Barcelona trios, even the names on paper look like a legendary lineup. Imagine being lucky enough to see them play for the same team. In three years, they won two LaLigas, a Champions League and a Supercopa.

4. Eto’o, Milito and Pandev

They won the treble in the 2009-10 season and managed to show the world why Jose Mourinho called himself the Special One. Smooth attacking football and sheer brilliance from the front three saw them beat Bayern in the final of the Champions League.

1. Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo
