The 15 best offensive tridents in football history

Let's see which list of 20 offensive tridents are the best in history. Putting them in order from worst to best is very difficult, since on many occasions it is something subjective, what is clear is that they are authentic historical trios.

15. Kluivert, Overmars y Litmanen (Ajax)

The Ajax of the 90s won many national titles, but also won the Champions League in 1995, going down in history. Its main virtue was the game deployed around the idea of ​​Van Gaal, but the trident made up of Kluivert, Overmars and Litmanen gave the team a lot of performance.

14. Bergkamp, Henry y Pirés (Arsenal)

In 2002, the "invincible" Arsenal won the Premier without losing a single game, largely thanks to the fact that Henry and Bergkamp dropped their goals, and Pirés found them at all times to assist them. Together they formed a historic trident that won another Premier League in 2004 and reached the Champions League final in 2006, all hand in hand with Wenger directing from the bench.

13. Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema y Di María (Real Madrid)

Mourinho's Real Madrid had the difficult task of coexisting with Pep Guardiola's FC Barcelona, ​​one of the best teams in history. That is why this trident only got one league and one Copa del Rey, but taking into account the team they were up against, these victories are worth more. Benzema, Cristiano and Di María got fed up with scoring goals in the seasons with Mourinho and Cristiano's header after the center of the "noodle" that gave Madrid the victory in the Cup final against Barça remains for history.

12. Messi, Villa y Pedro (Barça)

With the arrival of Villa after being the top scorer in the 2010 World Cup, Barça secured a historic trident together with the best player in the world and Pedro, who had burst into the club with great force, taking the place even from Henry. Together they won a treble in 2010 and were part of one of the sweetest stages of Barça by game and results.

11. Klose, Müller y Özil (Alemania)

The German team had been having good international results for several years and leaving great sensations, but it wasn't until the 2014 World Cup that it exploded, thanks in part to the form of its attackers, Klose, Muller and Özil. The trident led the statistics of goals and assists, and managed to reach the final after overwhelming Brazil in Maracana by 7 goals to 1. In the final they beat Messi's Argentina in extra time.

10. Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney y Tévez (Manchester United)

Manchester United dominated the Premier League and Europe after bringing together Cristiano, Rooney and Tévez under Ferguson's orders. Together they won the Champions League in 2008 and reached the final in 2009, where the best Barça in history beat them. In England, they won the Premier in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

9. Robben, Ribery y Müller (Bayern de Múnich)

Bayern Munich almost always dominate the Bundesliga, but with this attacking trio they were unstoppable. In addition, thanks to Heynckes on the bench, they managed to win the Champions League in 2013. The performance of these players was such that the team was also known as Bayern de "Robbery" since the influence of these two players was total.

8. Kaká, Shevchenko y Hernán Crespo (A. C. Milán)

Another of the mythical forwards of the early 2000s is the one made up of Kaká, Shevchenko and Crespo at Milan. Few tridents completed each other so well, since the deficiencies of one, were supplied by his partner. The team coached by Ancelotti won the Champions League in 2007 and the league title in 2004.

7. George Best, Bobby Charlton y Denis Law (Manchester United)

The one known in England as United Trinity brought together three of the best British players in history. Together, Manchester United recovered from the heavy blow of the Munich tragedy, in which many members of the squad died, and won the English league in 1965 and 1967, as well as the European Cup in 1968.

6. Ronaldo, Rivaldo y Ronaldinho (Brasil) 

In 2002, the Brazilian team managed to join Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Rivaldo in the same team, pure magic at the service of a team that was unstoppable in the World Cup in Korea and Japan. In the final, a good German team could do nothing against the Canarinha, who won 2-0 with two goals from Ronaldo.

5. Pelé, Garrincha y Vava (Brasil)

The legendary Brazil, which won two World Cups, in 1958 and 1962, owes much of its success to Pelé, but what few know is that the Brazilian star was very well surrounded at the top. Garrincha and Vava were two highly talented players who, together with Pelé, made up one of the best offensive trios in history.

4. Messi, Eto'o y Henry (Barça)

In Guardiola's first season, he came out in front of Barça and managed to create his own style that would lead the team to win a historic treble. But much of the success is due to the trident made up of an Eto'o whose goals were falling, a Henry in his last stage but with his talent intact and a Messi who exploded that campaign. Without forgetting of course the midfield made up of Iniesta and Xavi.

3. Di Stéfano, Puskas y Gento (Real Madrid)

The arrival of Di Stéfano and Puskas to Madrid in a football in which it was somewhat unusual to have foreigners revolutionized this sport since, by bringing together several of the best players in the world, Madrid won a large number of titles. among them 8 leagues and 5 European Cups. Gento was the perfect companion for these strikers with his overflow and great ability to assist.

2. Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema y Bale (Real Madrid)

This trio was a true goal-scoring machine. Real Madrid benefited from this trident and with Ancelotti at the helm first, and then with Zidane, they won one league, one cup and four Champions Leagues. Cristiano Ronaldo was awarded the Ballon d'Or and Bale and Benzema gave an extraordinary performance.

1. Messi, Neymar y Suárez (Barça)

In terms of talent, it was probably the best trident, as two of the best players in the world came together, such as Neymar and Messi, together with the best striker, Suárez. The treble season with Luis Enrique broke all records
