Luis Suarez has rediscovered his lost form for FC Barcelona.

FC Barcelona fans would be furious to see their striker, Luis Suarez, miss out the numero uno spot on the list despite the hat-trick he scored this past weekend.

Such is the cut throat competition in Europe that a number #9 of Uruguayan's stature falls short of the top spot. The former Liverpool man did not have the best of starts to the 2017/18 campaign where he experienced a severe goal drought.

However, the tables turned for the player gradually into the season. So far, Suarez has netted 23 goals and provided 10 assists for FC Barcelona this term.

The 31-year-old appears to now be settled in Valverde's new 4-2-3-1 formation which often sees him roaming as the lone striker. His form would be crucial to Barca's hopes of getting past Chelsea in the second leg at Nou Camp.
