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
He’s the best number 9 of his generation.
I think that’s a popular opinion so I don’t think he’s underrated. He’s at the end of his career and is obviously not the best now but I think most will say over the course of his career, the only two that came close in the same generation were Benzema and Lewandowski and he’s better than both.
