8 greatest attacking trios of all time

Football is all about entertainment. Fans from all over the world spend billions for the beautiful game. And for what? Different people support different teams and each wants their own team to do well – to win.However, every football fan has one thing in common: we all like watching players score goals. Football without goals is like air without oxygen: pointless. Goals determine everything; where all the awards go. Goals are the biggest reason for one’s joy or despair. And, most of the times, it is the forwards that become the source of all this.A great defence is the cornerstone of a championship-winning team; defence wins you trophies. However, attackers win you games and winning games wins you trophies as well. Some of the best teams ever in football had a brutal attack to make them the most feared team of their time.And here are 8 such trios:

#1 Romario, Michael Laudrup and Hristo Stoichkov - Barcelona

Perhaps Barcelona’s greatest attacking trio ever. When Johan Cruyff took over the reins at Barcelona, he had a vision – a vision of a dream team. And he made sure it became a reality.

With Ronald Koeman, Juan Carlos and Pep Guardiola forming the base of the team, the attacking trio of Romario, Michael Laudrup, and Hristo Stoichkov wreaked havoc in the final third. Many opposition defenders were desecrated by the fire of their wrath. 

While Stoichkov and Romario were the forwards, it was the Dane and his divine grace that became the source of some intrinsic yet delicate passes for the two scorers to feed on. The trio’s telepathic understanding was the cause of some magical set of plays which awed fans all over the world.
