Luis Suarez is one of the most talented soccer players in the world. Born in Uruguay, he began his career playing for local team Nacional at the age of 17. Soon he was noticed by Europes larger clubs and transferred to Ajax in the Netherlands. His prolific goal-scoring in the Dutch first division earned him a move to La Liga club FC Barcelona in 2014.
At Barcelona, Suarez has achieved a remarkable level of success, winning four La Liga titles and three Copas del Rey. He has also became the first and only Barcelona player, and the first Uruguyan footballer, to have scored four hat tricks in the same season, as Barcelona achieve the treble of La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League in the 2014–15 season.
Having established himself as one of the top strikers in the game, Suarezs technical skills, agility and strength have made him a fan and teammate favorite. He has the ability to run at defenders, deliver passes, and has a reputation for being a tactical genius. His international career has been equally impressive, as he is the all-time top scorer for Uruguay with 53 goals in just 100 appearances.
Beyond his prodigious skills, Suarez is an influential public figure in Uruguay as well as a father figure to his younger brothers. He is also an ardent philanthropist, making significant donations to charities and organizations, such as La Ligas Players Aid Foundation, which supports disadvantaged kids around the world.
At the age of 32, Suarez has done more than enough to earn the title of one of the worlds top strikers. His record speaks for itself, and his influence off the pitch is admirable. There is no doubt that he will continue to be a source of inspiration for aspiring soccer players for many more years to come.
