'The Harlem Globetrotters of football' - Messi, Suarez and Neymar warm up for Atletico in style

The three famous forwards put the Catalans in control in an ultimately one-sided game at Leganes as they made it 10 goals in a week.

Gary Lineker called them the "Harlem Globetrotters of football." Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar made the difference again for Barcelona on Saturday to make light of a match that had initially looked difficult for Luis Enrique's experimental side.

Sergio Busquets was rested, with Rafinha on the right side of midfield and Javier Mascherano on the right of defense. Leganes squeezed the spaces early on and it appeared the Blaugrana would be in for another tough contest after their surprise 2-1 loss to another promoted team, Alaves, last weekend.
