5 of the greatest South Americans to have worn the colours of FC Barcelona

#4 Luis Suárez (2014 – to date)

El Pisotlero has more than delivered despite his bad-boy rep

El Pistolero (The Pistol) as the Uruguayan is fondly called was an almost instant hit at the Camp Nou following his arrival in a €82.3m deal from Liverpool in 2014.

He had arrived under a cloud of acrimony following the biting incident with Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup in Brazil; an offence for which he was suspended from all football-related activities for four months by FIFA.

Even though Barca fans had to wait for months to view their new signing, it was as if the previous four months had not happened as he formed an almost instantaneous bond with fellow forwards Neymar & Messi which led to the terrific trio being dubbed MSN (Messi, Suarez, Neymar) by media and fans alike.

The Uruguayan has been an inspired signing for the Catalans as his agility, exceptional movement, brilliant finishing, and other superb attributes have seen him plunder goal after goal in the famous blue and red jersey.

With 142 goals & 82 assists in 189 games so far for Barcelona, expect The Pistol to enter the club’s pantheon of legends when he eventually makes his exit.
