Andres Iniesta: Barca's Messi, Suarez, Neymar 'best players I've ever seen'

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta says his teammates Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar are "the three best players I've ever seen."

Barca's three-pronged attacking force have accounted for 94 goals in all competitions this seasons and are on pace to win the Treble for a second straight season.

And from playing with them, Iniesta says Messi's partnership with Suarez and Neymar is even better than the one he once had with Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto'o

"Without belittling Henry and Eto'o, for me Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez are the three best players I've ever seen," he told Movistar's "Minuto 0" programme.

Iniesta had no trouble picking out Barcelona's star attraction, however.

"Leo is the undisputed number one and there'll never be another player like him," he said.

With an eight-point lead over in La Liga as well as a spot in the Copa del Rey final, Barcelona are in good position to repeat last year's tremendous trophy haul. But Iniesta said Barcelona still have a ways to go.

"We still have the most difficult part ahead. We play every game from now until the end of the season as if it were the last game," he said.

"I don't know why, but this is one of the seasons I'm enjoying the most. I hope we manage to win some titles.

"Tiredness doesn't matter. What really matters is having everything so close and achieving your objectives."
