Since the beginning of the 21st century, only Cristiano Ronaldo has reached 150 goals faster than the Uruguayan.
Suárez achieved great results

| Luis Suárez scored again for Atlético |
Luis Suárez moved to Spain in the summer of 2014. Despite the Uruguayan forward being suspended earlier in the season for biting Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup just before, Barcelona still spent a great deal of money recruiting him from Liverpool .
With 6 years at Barça, Suárez has an impressive scoring performance: 198 goals in 283 appearances. In which, there were 147 goals in La Liga. But Suarez’s performance came to a halt when Ronald Koeman took over as Barça coach and pulled him off the plan.
Atlético contacted and obtained Suárez’s signature. Wearing the Los Rojiblancos shirt, the 33-year-old general is still in very good shape with 3 goals in 4 appearances. More recently, Suárez opened the scoring in minute 6 at the reception of Celta de Vigo.
In the fifth minute of injury time, Yannick Carrasco closed the victory 2-0 for Diego Simeone’s team. The 3 points obtained helped him climb to fifth place in the La Liga standings, 2 points behind Real Madrid’s first place despite playing less than 1 game.

| Only Ronaldo has a better record than Suárez |
Personally, Suárez also has his own joy. Cha is a former Barça member with 150 goals in La Liga after just 195 games. In the 21st century, only Cristiano Ronaldo has reached this milestone with fewer matches.
Suárez’s former teammate at Barça, Lionel Messi, cannot be compared to the two previous names. The reason is that the Argentine superstar played a lot in La Liga when he was young. Meanwhile, both Suárez and Ronaldo left for Spain at age nine.
Messi did not have a boom in his early years with Barça. It wasn’t until the 2008-09 season, when Pep Guardiola took the lead, that El Pulga rose to a new level. Four seasons ago, playing in the Barça first team, he only added 31 goals after 78 games in La Liga.
So far, Messi has scored 445 goals in Spain’s top league. Suárez is 99% unable to match the performance of that old colleague, but promises to raise his performance much more in the coming years.
The Uruguayan international has signed for Atlético until 2022 and can be extended if he maintains his current form. Simeone’s men will return to La Liga on October 24 with a game against Real Betis. Before that, they will march in the group stage of the Champions League against defending champion Bayern Munich on the road.
