Front threes to score 100+ goals in a season this century as Kane, Diaz, Olise near milestone Bayern Munich 's menacing attack has been on fire this season, and the club's fearsome frontline of Harry Kane , Michael Olise , and Luis Diaz starred again this week. Diaz and Kane were both on target as Bayern beat Real Madrid 2-1 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Olise added another assist to his growing collection, and the trio now have 140 goal contributions between them in all competitions this season.
With 88 goals scored between them, Kane, Diaz, and Olise are close to becoming the eighth front three to score 100 goals in a season this century. Should that be achieved, the trio would become the first frontline to do so for a club outside of Real Madrid and Barcelona , with each of the former front threes to achieve the feat reliant on either Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo . Barcelona hold the record for the most prolific front three this century.
The club's famous 'MSN' frontline of Messi, Luis Suarez , and Neymar scored a staggering 131 goals during the 2015/16 season. It was Suarez who led from the front with 59 goals, as the Uruguayan became the first player since 2009 to beat Messi and Ronaldo to La Liga's top-scorer award and the European Golden Shoe. He also became the first player ever to lead La Liga for goals and assists in the same season.
Messi added 41 goals, with Neymar scoring 31 times. The trio broke their own 122-goal record, set the previous season as Barcelona won a treble. Messi, incredibly, has been involved in three different front threes to score a century of goals in a season.
