1.) Luis Suarez (FC Barcelona 6-0 Levante)
It’s no secret that Suarez’s stint thus far at Barca has not exactly gone as planned. While he hasn’t quite been a disappointment, he’s easily the least influential of the blaugrana’s three South American Forwards. Like I said, calling him a disappointment would be unfair. Suarez has scored four times in 14 games. Not bad, but not quite the kind of production one would expect from a man making an ungodly amount of money.
Fear not, Barcelona faithful. The wait for a dynamic Suarez goal was definitely well worth it. Barcelona’s 5-0 clean sheet vs. Levante came complete with Luis Saurez bicycle kick that can only be described as world class. Suarez’s goal finished off the scoring trifecta of the aforementioned South American forwards as well. Lionel Messi converted thrice earning a hat trick, while the Brazilian Neymar tallied with a penalty kick. Not to be outdone, Suarez came on as a sub and immidiately put the game more out of reach than it already was.
