Suarez enjoyed plenty of success with Neymar and Messi during their years in Barcelona – notably when they won the treble in the 2014-2015 campaign.
Fabregas came through the famous La Masia academy with the Argentine and played with him from 2011 to 2014. He also linked up with Neymar in the 2013-2014 campaign before departing for Chelsea.
Despite their exit from Europe, Mauricio Pochettino’s side are on course to win Ligue 1 after extending their lead at the top to 15 points with Sunday’s win.
