LaLiga 2018-19: 5 Barcelona players to watch out for

FC Barcelona v Deportivo Alaves - La Liga

#2 Luis Suarez

FC Barcelona v SD Huesca - La Liga

Luis Suarez can dominate the opposition’s defence with his aggressive style of play. Lionel Messi should consider himself lucky as he has an able partner in the form of Luis Suarez in the forward line who he can bank upon for support during critical situations of a game.

Together the duo have ripped apart the best defences with their attacking game and will once again be expected to call the shots in the forward line. Luis Suarez has been a revelation for the Catalans since his arrival at Camp Nou, as the 31-year-old has threatened every opposition with his mazy runs and electrifying pace.

Luis Suarez has operated quite well in the flanks. Though Luis Suarez had slowed down a bit mid-season in the last season because of fitness issues, he managed to regain his rhythm during the latter part of the season. His intensity tends to lift the morale of his teammates.

Luis Suarez played a crucial role for Uruguay in the recently concluded World Cup but had expressed disappointment as his team couldn’t make it to the semi-finals losing to eventual champions France in the quarterfinals.

Luis Suarez scored 25 goals in 33 games in the 2017-18 LaLiga season with 12 assists to his name. The striker has already scored 3 goals in 4 games in the ongoing LaLiga season. Luis Suarez will be a key figure in Barcelona’s line up not only in the ongoing season but also the Champions League in the months going ahead.
