# 2 Luis Suarez
The striker has dominated the defense of the opposition with his aggressive style of play. Messi should consider himself lucky as he has an able partner like Suarez to accompany him in the attack, and one he can bank upon for support during critical situations of a game.
Together the duo have outlasted the best defenses with their sensational link-up. Suarez has been a revelation for the Catalans since his arrival at Camp Nou and has threatened almost every opposition with his electrifying pace.
Suarez has operated quite well in the flanks this season. Though he had slowed down a bit in the mid-season because of fitness issues, it looks as if he has recaptured his rhythm in the past few weeks. His intensity tends to lift the morale of his teammates and his vicious finishing looks sharp as ever.
The man from Uruguay has scored 17 goals in 21 games in the current La Liga season.
The 30-year-old was questioned for his attitude for not standing up when the team required him to. He was also criticized for not delivering against bigger clubs, but of late the striker has silenced his critics with some spirited performances over the months.
Valverde, too, has maintained that the striker will surely play a crucial role in the team's success in the coming months.
