After their utter demolition of Getafe in La Liga yesterday, Barcelona forwards Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr., and Luis Suarez have eclipsed 100 goals in all competitions. A respectable return to say the least, and one that few would argue justifies the huge pile of cash required to assemble the trio, with Neymar and Luis Suarez costing a reported 138 million Euros combined.
After a below par start to the season, the trio has been on fire in 2015. Their goal totals as of today are 49 for Messi, 32 for Neymar, and 21 for Suarez. The goals have spanned the spectrum from mundane rebounds to absolutely stung bicycle kicks.

Barcelona manager Luis Enrique had this to say of the trio’s record setting day:
"When a team has this level of effectiveness, it makes it difficult for any opponent. It was a difficult game, but we settled it in the first half.”
"I do not remember a game with so many spectacular goals. There is still room for improvement, no doubt, but to better our results is difficult.”
Barcelona appears to be reaching it’s peak form at the best possible time, with their Champions League semi-final clash against Bayern Munich set to take place next week on May 6th, 2:45 p.m. EST.
