Nominees Luis Suárez, Neymar and Lionel Messi were all on target in Barcelona's 4-0 win against Real Sociedad on Saturday – could the UEFA.com users' Team of the Year be set for a one-club forward line for the first time?
Two goals for Neymar means that he moved to 34 goals in the Liga and UEFA club competition in 2015, two behind the in-form Suárez and fit-again Messi. Only Cristiano Ronaldo (41) has scored more, and the Real Madrid man has not had to share the attacking limelight with two prolific team-mates.
So, are you be tempted to select an all-Barcelona two or three-man forward line in your Team of the Year? We have only come close to it once before, again with the Catalan club who in 2010 provided Messi and David Villa to the all-star XI. Villa, though, had spent the first half of the year at Valencia.
