What does the “MSN” meme mean?

MSN evokes the golden age of three forwards sharing one club at the top of their game. The acronym is shorthand for nostalgia, entertaining football and any dream trio.

Compilations of the trio’s goals, assists and celebrations then circulated on social networks, feeding fans’ nostalgia and discussions about the greatest attacks in history.
