He won the golden boot twice in the Messi & Ronaldo era, he was generational.

He's criminally underrated... More bites than Kane has trophies😂

His first season at Barcelona, he was crucial in helping Barcelona win the treble and not bad for a player who served a 4 month ban initially. That 2015/16 season, his 2nd year at Barcelona Luis Suarez was a different beast. Luis Suarez that season had the best individual season, I've ever seen from a player other than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and he was in the same league as both of them in the peak of their powers and in fact was on the same team as Lionel Messi and scored 59 goals and provided what 23 assists and in La Liga alone, he scored 40 goals. 82 goal involvements in one season, that's close to 100 those are Ballon Dor numbers right there and he at his peak that was different gravy right there. Looking at that season, many will wonder why Luis Suarez never made the Ballon Dor podium or came close to winning the award, but that was a world class season right there, 2015/16 Luis Suarez and before that he was great at Barcelona still had great numbers even though he served a suspension and then with a full season under his belt with Lionel Messi and Neymar, he produced the best individual season of his career and he was unplayable.

Not just this year, numbers nerds will tell you he was the third best attacker in the world for several years after joining Barcelona

You could argue he had already matched them in his last season in the PL so this season was just insane. He would be much more talked about if he didn't have to share the same era with those two consistency monsters, a couple of balon d'ors at the bare minimun.

As a Barca fan that season from Suarez was the very best performance I'd seen from a CF EL PISTOLERO 👉👉

Moral of the story: "If you want to win the Ballon'Dor, score 50+ goals, win a major trophy and don't bite people."

Man it feels like all the big character players that i like are retiring this year Zlatan then Luis Suarez They are dying breed of footballers who do anything they feel like We will miss you El Pistorelo Thanks for some the memories you gave me as a Barca fan

Thanks for video on Luchito!! Uruguay nomaa

Suarez has an unspoken record that Messi moor Ronaldo could touch, the only player in LaLiga history to score 4 goals in back to back matches, as in, the guy scored 4 in this match, and then 4 the next match. Also, when I saw Messi win the Ballon D'or over Van Dijk and another time over Lewandowski, I was like, "hell nah, I ain't taking this ceremony seriously again."

If Suárez didn’t get injured, he definitely would’ve torn up the 2016 Copa América Centenario with Uruguay and he would’ve probably won the Balon d’Or. Instead, he didn’t play a single minute as Uruguay were shocked in the group stage. The only thing separating Suárez from the rest was the international tournaments. We’ve seen this numerous times where performances at international tournaments take precedence during Balon d’Or rankings and in 2016, Ronaldo won Euro 2016 scoring 3 crucial goals and having 2 assists, Messi got to the 2016 Copa América Final, only losing on penalties after getting 5 goals and 4 assists and then Griezmann got to the Final of Euro 2016 with 6 goals and 2 assists making him the top scorer of the tournament. Now imagine if Uruguay went far in Copa América 2016 with Suárez scoring multiple goals

Please do one of these on Forlán! He was class!!!

I always tell ym buddy I think Suarez is the most underrated players in the generation.

2013/2014 suarez was his absolute best. He was still amazing at Barcelona, but his role was truncated due to obvious reasons.

He's in the top 3 strikers for me: R9, Henry, Suarez

If he wasn't injured at the end of the season, and won the copa america, could he have contented for or even won the ballond'or?

tbh, i think he still is. the only "center forward" that versatile/effective is Kane (No offence Lewa, you prolly have the best technique - excluding Suarez, perhaps). Like imagine if R9, Kane, and Lewa had a baby and gave it crack cocaine. That's Suarez. Haaland is in a world of his own, but he (like the others excluding Kane and R9) is the sort of player you need to unlock. Not quite the kind you can throw into any old squad and expect results from... yet.

Honestly the Liverpool years he was wonderful but he’s not the only one in that era who could have got the ballon d’or. It’s a w that you finally brung back the Benfica jersey

This is such a revisionist take it's crazy. Suarez had prime Messi and prime Neymar to help him, and all he did with it was pad stats against the likes of Granada and La Coruna. In the CL they only got to QF. If Lewandowski had such a season for Bayern, everybody would call him stat padder that doesn't perform in big matches. And that's without having Messi and Neymar. There's a reason why Lewandowski finished ahead of Suarez in that year's BD'Or. Suarez has 27 goals in 73 UCL appearances and that's another reason why he's widely considered inferior to Lewandowski.
