One of the maxims of football, both collectively and individually, is to surpass oneself, achieve goals, beat challenges, break records and establish a status that nobody has before.
If you are a striker, with the No. 9 on your back, you are Uruguayan, and your name is Luis Suarez, then that hunger is multiplied.
Against Real Valladolid, the Barcelona forward has a simple challenge ahead of him for a player like him: simply to score in the game.
It seems like a relatively easy and low-key goal for a player like Suarez, but if you look at his scoring records against the Pucelanos and the rest of LaLiga Santander, you will notice that they are the only top-flight team he hasn't found the net against.
However, it should also be noted that against Valladolid, he has only played one game, which came in the first round of fixtures.
Barcelona won 1-0 thanks to a 57th minute Ousmane Dembele goal and Suarez played 89 minutes without finding the net.
In his 152 games in the top-flight, Suarez has scored a total of 124 goals against the 27 teams he has faced, all except Valladolid.
His favourite victims are shared among three teams, having netted nine goals against Real Betis, Eibar and Real Madrid.
Teammate Lionel Messi has netted against 37 teams he has faced in LaLiga Santander, only failing to get on the score sheet against Real Murcia, Cadiz and Xerez.
In the history of the division, Suarez would take a step closer to the players who hold the record for scoring against all of the teams they have faced.
The podium is made up of Hugo Sanchez with 33, Luis Aragones at 31 and Pahino at 30.
