My Take
Luis Suárez is one of those players who makes you feel genuinely conflicted — because the man is an absolute monster in front of goal, and yet his career has never been far from controversy. Born in Salto, Uruguay, he clawed his way up from real poverty, and that hunger never left him on the pitch. At Liverpool he was practically unstoppable, winning the European Golden Shoe and PFA Players' Player of the Year in 2014 while dragging that side to within a whisker of the title. At Barcelona he formed one of the most lethal attacking trios club football has ever seen. Yes, there are the biting incidents, the handball, the racially charged ban — none of that gets a free pass — but if you want to talk about pure, obsessive, world-class striking, Suárez belongs in any honest conversation about the greatest of his generation.
