Here’s When Luis Suarez Trumped Peak Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in His Career

Very few names have left their mark on soccer during the era of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. While La Pulga and CR7’s rivalry dominated the headlines, names such as Luis Suarez, Neymar Jr, and Karim Benzema made an impact that the fans will remember. El Pistolero, during his prime, dominated the record books, even surpassing Messi and Ronaldo, despite the duo at the top of their game.

Suarez, during his time at FC Barcelona, was at his absolute best. The Uruguayan striker left Messi and Ronaldo in the dust from 2013 to 2016, bagging some of the top awards. Despite being in the closing stages of his career, the player has gathered a lot of attention as of late. And now, the MLS side Inter Miami looks to acquire the player’s signatures, hoping to reunite him with Lionel Messi.

Luis Suarez dominated Europe from 2013 to 2017

Before moving to La Liga, Luis Suarez dominated the Premier League with Liverpool. The striker scored 31 goals in the 2013-14 season. This made the Golden Boot winner alongside the PFA Player of the Year award. The player’s performance also saw him rank at the top of Bloomberg’s Europe’s Most Influential Player ahead of Messi and Ronaldo.

His performances caught the eye of FC Barcelona, with the club signing the player in 2014. El Pistolero took no time to adapt to the new league as he set the stage on fire, making the most of his time with Messi.

Luis Suarez, alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar, terrorized defenses during his time with Barcelona. The striker was a constant threat in the attacking third, making sure to find the back of the net when possible. His heroics with the side saw him bag the European Golden Boot Award in the 2015-16. In that season, he finished with 48 goals for the side. An extraordinary number!
