El pistolero was not at his best this past week but did provide the tying goal and has performed well the last month. In 18 La Liga matches, Suarez has scored 16* times (!) you don’t have to be a math wizard to know that is a high level of success and his finishing is the best in the sport. The squad will need an in form Suarez for the Copa del Rey against Atletico Madrid and for the title push to challenge Real Madrid. Luis’ passing has also improved since joining Barca and now can be part of the lead up to goals which can be useful considering the squad’s need for wins.
