Being the third top scorer of one of the greatest club, Suarez was part of one of the most dominant periods of Barcelona’s history. The MSN trio were ruthless and hardly was there a day when they didn’t find the back of the net. Apart from being a lethal goalscorer, his partnership with Messi on and off the field with Messi deserves a special mention. Be it chipping in with assists or just having fun with their families, Messi and Suarez were often spotted together and needless to say after Neymar left, Suarez was his closest pal.
To win the golden shoe in the league where Messi and Ronaldo are competing not once but twice just shows why he was indispensable to the Barcelona team. He even won the Pichichi trophy in 2016 besides the golden shoe in the same year and 2014. Long rangers, headers, bicycle kicks, Suarez did it all and in some style. It remains to be seen how Barca will replace such a lethal goalscorer in the near future.
At 33, he may not be as lethal as he was in his prime but there’s no denying the fact that he can perform at the top level. He scored 16 times in the league last term including the outrageous back heel against Mallorca. It will be interesting how Atletico use their Uruguayan forward and time will only tell if Barca are to repent their decision of selling their star striker for a lowly 6m euros.
