Is the 'MSN' heading downhill?

This year, Messi, Neymar and Suarez have managed 106 goals and 63 assists, though in total they have given 208 goal passes. Despite scoring over 100 goals, the numbers of the 'MSN' have been called into question.

Most people believe their numbers are undeniable, as they won the team the 'treble' in their first year, four trophies in the second (including a double), and they are still in contention for La Liga and Copa del Rey titles.

However, some believe that, as well as scoring fewer goals, their style restricts the team's football, which has lost quality when compared to that practised by Guardiola's side.

They also think that Barcelona's defensive woes this season have cost them the Champions League, as well as Luis Enrique's rotation policy in important matches.

The club's directives are sure. Neymar signed a new deal in the summer, and Luis Suarez did so once the campaign had started. They are working on a new contract for Messi, and the sporting vicepresident, Jordi Maestre said selling any of them is out of the question.
