You see Luis Suárez, he was not just a goal scorer, he was a force who brought competition to the era dominated by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Softfootball gathered that Suárez officially left Liverpool F.C. on 11 July 2014 after the club reached a transfer agreement with FC Barcelona. While widely reported at the time as a £75 million move, later documents suggested the actual fee was approximately £65 million (€81 million), structured in instalments.
At Liverpool, Suárez delivered a stellar individual season, carrying the team’s attack with brilliance, aggression and technical quality. His ability to score from impossible angles, create chances out of nothing and use every part of his body to finish made him one of the most feared strikers in Europe.
One unforgettable moment came on 23 November 2013 at Goodison Park, when he scored a sensational free-kick against Everton during a dramatic 3-3 draw. He studied the wall, shaped his body and bent the ball into the net with precision, a moment that remains iconic in Premier League history.
At Barcelona, Suárez proved he could shine on the biggest stage. On 6 May 2015, in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final against FC Bayern Munich, Barcelona delivered a masterclass. Messi scored twice in quick succession before Neymar sealed the result late on after an advantage was played following a foul on Suárez. Barcelona went on to win the Champions League that season, and Suárez was central to that historic campaign.
Beyond trophies, Suárez brought relentless intensity, movement and edge to every match. If football fans were to rank the top 10 strikers of the modern era, his name would undoubtedly be in the conversation.
Yes, players like Mohamed Salah continue to score goals consistently, and that deserves respect. But the magic, unpredictability and competitive fire of Luis Suárez is something football fans will never forget.
