Luis Suárez, synonymous with the word record. The Uruguayan’s goal scored yesterday at Alavés made him Barcelona’s the third top scorer in history in La Liga games, overtaking Ladislao Kubala.
Arriving in 2014, the performance of the Uruguayan since has been such that his status as a Blaugrana legend should not even be discussed. Criticized and idolized at the same time, Suárez decided as a child to make history at FC Barcelona and nobody has been able to take away his desire. Yesterday, from the penalty spot, the hitman scored his 131th goal in the league, equaling Kubala's score but taking 24 matches less than the Hungarian to do so.
The Uruguayan could boast of being the top Barcelona marksman among humans, because Lionel Messi, the alien, is obviously top with a whopping 416 goals in the competition.
Suarez is about to reach fourth place in the ranking of Barca’s overall goalscorers. With 176 goals, it seems that the 182 that Samitier notched will soon fall to the Uruguayan.
This season, Suarez is tied with Benzema in second in the race for the Pichichi, with 21 goals each. Messi is first, obviously.
