Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara believes the
Barcelona trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez all
deserved to be finalists for the 2015 Ballon d'Or trophy.
Messi and Neymar made the final-three, along with Real
Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, while Barcelona striker Luis
Suarez was the unlucky one to miss out.
Suarez finished 2015 as the top-scorer in La Liga, with
Barca's front three breaking record after record in the
calendar year for goals scored.
Thiago, who played with Messi at Camp Nou before making
the switch to Bayern Munich in 2013, said the trio should all
be in the running for the Ballon d'Or.
"Right now, all three of them are deserving of being in the
running for the Ballon d'Or," he said.
"They're a fabulous trio, just like the tridents made up of
Xavi, Leo and [Andres] Iniesta, or Messi, [Samuel] Eto'o and
[Thierry] Henry were. It's only at the end of your career
when you can look back and assess things.
"They're well on track to become one of the best attacking
trios in the history of the game."
Thiago added he was happy in Munich but did not rule out a
move back to the Camp Nou in the future.
"At present, I feel really good where I am," he said. "Further
down the line, we'll have to see what happens.
"I enjoy being where I am now, and I want to lift silverware
with Bayern."
