Conspiracy theorists, get your tin foil hats ready now.

Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar comprise perhaps the most lethal front three of any club in the world. Although, they only joined forces as a triumvirate at the beginning of the 2014/15 season, perhaps it was fate that brought them together. A strange fact about the three superstars' respective birthplaces has been doing the rounds on the internet. If you drew a line from Messi's hometown of Rosario, Argentina to where Suarez was born in Salto, Uruguay and then continued it to the birthplace of Neymar in Mogi das Cruzes, Brazil it would be perfectly straight. To increase the eeriness factor, if you're facing the south, the three were born in pretty much the same formation they line up in for Barcelona (give or take a couple of hundred miles).
