Luis Suarez who turns 37 in two months and is playing with a knee injury has taken Gremio who were in the Brazilian second division last season to join first in the first division having the most assists and most GA in the league including 17 GA in his last 14 games and top it off he just scored a 19-minute hattrick against the league leaders in their own back yard to complete the comeback from 3-1 down and give Gremio a fighting chance to win the league for the first time in 42 years Suarez has failed to have a goal contribution in only two games in the last 3 months at almost 37 he’s been Gremios best player and perhaps South American football’s best player I don’t think any number 9 in history has an individual impact on their teams like Suarez did he was world class in a decent Liverpool side he won the treble with the Barcelona side that had finished trophyless he won Atletico Madrid’s first league title in seven years now this madness with Gremio

    C’mon bro, that’s just cringe. Even if we don’t count CR7 as a striker, Benzema scored 10 goals in UCL knockouts against the best teams in the world just a year ago. If we go further back, you have R9, Gerd Muller, Sheveckenko, Henry, Drogba etc.

      Suarez is a better striker than all those players. Muller i don’t really know so can’t have an opinion. Henry was a better winger than a striker, same with Cr7. Schevchenko and Drogba are not on the same level as Suarez. Only one you could really consider is r9, and other than the ballon dor, what did r9 really have over Suarez?
