Diouf - Heskey - Baros 
BBC, MSN, Ronaldinho-Etoo-Messi, busquet-xavi-iniesta.
Lower tier mane firmino salah is pretty good too

The one pictured in the OP is irrelevant. They've won bugger all.
In my lifetime it has to be Xavi/Iniesta/Busquets.
At a lower tier, the Larsson/Hartson/Sutton Celtic team was fun to watch.

The one in the OP isn't a good trinity. Messi isn't in his prime anymore, Neymar is injury-prone and Mbappe doesn't like to play as a CF to accommodate them.
Ronaldo - Tevez - Rooney were very good for that one year.

Realize that. Potential! potential! But of course there are far better ones I agree!
Messi, Suarez and Neymar.
What's incredible is that the best midfield trio ever played directly behind them

Messi, Suárez & Neymar were better even though you can argue that your duo has more individual talent due to Mbappé's presence. They fit together perfectly + all three were at their absolute peak.
Busquets, Xavi & Iniésta.
There were some great old ones like GreNoLi (Gren, Nordahl & Liedholm) or Juve's Trio Magico (Omar Sívori, the Ballon d'Or winner, John Charles, arguably the greatest Welsh player ever & Giampiero Boniperti, Juve's top scorer for 40 odd years).
Yes, that iconic trio of Busquets, Iniesta, and ... RakiticMessi, Suarez and Neymar.

Ronaldinho-Ronaldo-Rivaldo
De Bruyne, Silva and Aguero would be up there for best PL ones. Or replace KDB with Yaya if it suits.
Modric-Kroos-Casemiro.
I quite enjoyed the Henry/Eto’o/Messi one too. As well as the Ronaldinho/Eto’o/Guily one.
Xavi played in some of those teams.
A little awkward making trios out of 4-4-2 formations but I'll say Baresi-Costacurta-Maldini.
It has to be Mane - Firminho - Salah
Minutes of fun watching those three

Cahill Pienaar Arteta
I quite enjoyed Kaka - Shevchenko - Crespo way back when.
Babel - Ngog - JovanovicDiouf - Heskey - Baros
Batistuta, Rui Costa and some other guy.
Vardy - Mahrez - Kante
Harvey. Kendall. Ball.
Messi, Suarez and Neymar.

Agree on both counts.
Ribéry, Muller and Robben wasn't too shabby. Also I don't remember seeing them but didn't Del Piero, Baggio and Vialli play together?
He wasn't much of a starter when they won the treble
Coutinho (center forward), Pepe (left forward) and Pelé (#10) from the Os Santásticos teams (late 1950s to mid 1960s). Dorval was also there, but he wasn't quite on the level of these three. Crowning moment: when they won the quadruple in 1962 (Campeonato Paulista, Taça Brasil, Copa Libertadores and Intercontinental Cup), while scoring a combined total of ~120 goals. On a side note, all three had also won the World Cup in 1962!
vs. the champions of Europe (on their home turf, the Estádio da Luz), with the trio scoring all 5 goals for Santos...

I thought their main midfield included Rakitic by this point.Messi, Suarez and Neymar.

Not in the traditional sense but Lahm, Schweinsteiger & Klose worked really well together for Germany NT.
Agreed, so in the same vain Pires, Bergkamp and Henry.
Van Der Sar - Ferdinand - Vidic
VDS-Rio-Vidic, 5 leagues, 1 CL and 3 CL finals
Nowhere near the best, but Duff, Drogba and Robben were pretty effective at one point.
I know this but I just think it's incredible that what is widely considered to be one of the greatest front three's of all time played in the same team as what is widely considered to be one of the greatest midfield three's of all time. I know it wasn't prime Xavi, I know Rakitic was the preferred player at this point, I just think it's amazing that all of those guys could be at the same club at the same time.
Valencia - Owen - Obertan
Vidic. Rio. Van der Sar,
Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini.
Absolutely brilliant back three that was unfortunate to run into arguably the best versions of Barca and Real Madrid in the CL final and Spain in Euro 2012.

Which is better between that trio and Pedro-Villa-Messi? Talent and buzz wise obviously MSN but Barca was so much more dominant trophy wise with that original trio.Messi, Suarez and Neymar.
