Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets were the basis of Barca's style from 2010-2012, the only constant in the front 3 was Messi and he played with Villa,Pedro,Ibra, Sanchez at various points of the season. That midfield is one of the best 3 man midfields I have ever seen. Many teams play with a base of 2 central midfielders and an advanced 10 so it's difficult to compare with Barca's 4-3-3. Bayern's 2013 with Schweinsteiger-Martinez-Kroos/Muller was impressive enough and Liverpool that one season with Alonso-Mascherano-Gerrard could have been good if Benitez wasn't trying to get Barry.
Will Messi, Neymar, and Suarez go down as the Greatest Big 3 in Any Sport?

Yes. All day, yes.
As an earlier post alluded to, Xavi - Busquets - Iniesta were the perfect midfield trio ever assembled, and they're products of Barca's very own acadamy.
And between them, Malouda - Drgba - Anelka scored 67 goals in one season, the record breaking season in which Chelsea won the double. Can't hate on that.
(Was gonna add Lampard, but didn't want to be greedy.)Messi = 5 year contract starting in 2013, worth £256,000 per week after tax
Neymar = 5 year contract starting in 2013, worth £150,000 p/w
Suarez = 5 year contract starting in 2014, worth £200,000 p/w
Not including bonuses, clauses, sponsorships or irregular tax returns.
