Luis Suárez found the hole of Diego López's goal again to win a game against Barça and, incidentally, go down to Segunda to Espanyol. The Uruguayan's numbers contradict all those who seek to end his cycle at the club. First, its historical numbers. With 195 goals in just six seasons (a brutal average of more than 30 goals per year), hunter Suárez is already the third highest scorer in the club's history.
He is already ahead of Kubala and has only César (232) and Messi (630) ahead of him. But it is because Suarez also speak well his current numbers. He is the top scorer of Barça post-confinement. He has scored four goals (without shooting a penalty), which have meant three points and should have meant more if Barça had not thrown the game in Vigo. Add 15 goals and 8 assists.
To Suárez, 33 years old, He has a year left on his contract at Barça and, despite the fact that his numbers have greatly decreased compared to his first years, especially to the memorable 2015-16 season in which it was the Golden Shoe.
Against Suarez weigh his physical problems. His right knee suffers and he may not give up for a full season as the sole striker. But their numbers can still stare into the eyes of almost anyone on the European scene. Also the one they say may be his successor, Lautaro Martínez. The Argentine from Inter is a target for Barça, but this season, until now, he is below uruguato: 12 goals and four assists.
