The Blaugrana boss also insists that no magic word is needed to spark the deadly trio.

Tuesday will see the highly-anticipated Champions League clash between Arsenal and Barcelona take place, with the first leg being played in north London.

Both sides have been playing well in their respective league this season – extremely well in the case of the Blaugrana – yet little tip the Gunners to progress into the last 8 at the expense of Luis Enrique’s men, not even legend Thierry Henry.

One reason is down to the Catalan giants’ deadly MSN (Messi, Suarez, Neymar) attacking trio which conquered Spain, Europe, and the rest of the world in 2015.

The South American attackers have netted a whopping 91 goals across all competitions, leaving an uphill battle for the likes of Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker to protect Arsenal's goal.

Speaking in a pre-match press conference, Enrique went on to hail MSN as the world's best forwards after being asked by a reporter how he manages to get the best out of them.

The Barca boss said: “I tell them ‘abracadabra’ and the magic sparks. That’s all I do.”

“I have always had good forwards and now at Barcelona I have the best in the world," the Asturian manager added.

"So for me it’s quite simple, quite easy. In some situations you don’t even have to wish for what you would like them to do because they are already doing it.

"They have freedom; they know they have other obligations because we depend on their pressing."
