Luis Suarez recently scored a hat-trick to help Barcelona
Luis Suarez recently scored a hat-trick to help Barcelona secured a crucial 3-1 win against Eibar.
This victory helped keep Barcelona level on points with Real Madrid, who have been looking the impressive team in the league so far. It looked like the Catalan club were in for a shock when they conceded an early goal. However, striker Suarez showed his lethal abilities in front of goal by scoring all the goals in this brilliant win. The pressure on players like Suarez and Neymar is especially great considering that superstar Lionel Messi is absent due to an injury..
Even with this pressure, Uruguayan Suarez showed that he can perform at the highest level possible with a fine performance. He will be one of the players to watch when Barcelona take on Real Madrid in the first El Clasico of the season. The 28-year-old took his time to become a success at Camp Nou. Now, there is no looking back from the former Liverpool striker after having contributed immensely to the title success of last season. Suarez has taken his league tally to 7 goals in eight appearances following this hat-trick. He also has two assists to his name. The 28-year-old has also averaged around a goal per game in the European competitions.
"We know the importance of Luis. What he gives you is invaluable, non-negotiable. If he then finishes in the area, that's great. He's essential and irreplaceable.We tried to fix the problems we had in the first half. With a team like Eibar, unbeaten away from home, it’s normal that we had trouble to get going. Fortunately, we won the game with intensity and effectiveness in the final stretch. Going out there with three defenders isn't a problem as long as we are successful, but it isn't an exact science,” said Enrique about the win.
