Uruguayan forward has scored more goals, excluding penalties, than any other player since his debut for the Spanish giants
FORGET Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar... Luis Suarez is the best striker in La Liga.
When most people delve into the age-old 'who's the best player in the world' argument, Leo, CR7 and Neymar tend to be the first names on people's list.
Some will even suggest Gareth Bale, Antoine Griezmann or Karim Benzema, but no... it is Suarez.
Keep up to date with ALL the Barcelona news, gossip and transfers on our club page.
For starters, since his debut for Barcelona on October 25, 2014, no player in La Liga has scored more goals, excluding penalties.
The former Liverpool man has netted a staggering 76 goals as part of the MSN - alongside Messi and Neymar.
His striking team-mates come in second and sixth on 75 and 40 respectively.
Even Ronaldo has only netted 69 times, to go with just 57 from Atletico Madrid's Manchester United target Griezmann.
Bale and on-fire Spaniard Iago Aspas have only notched 62 BETWEEN them on 34 and 28 apiece.
Not only that, Suarez has also been involved in the most goals in the 2016-17 season in all of Europe's 'Big Five' leagues at a mind-blowing 33.
Suarez also became the first player to score over ten goals AND ten assists at the weekend - bringing his season tally to 23 strikes and ten helpers in the 4-1 win over Granada.
Messi's combined tally sits at only 32, with Edinson Cavani, Robert Lewandowski and Mauro Icardi on 28.
Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku are the Premier League's only entrants on 27, with Edin Dzeko, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ronaldo further down the list.
So why is Suarez still living somewhat in the shadow of his La Liga colleagues?
