The Uruguay attacker hit a hat trick as his two esteemed teammates missed out through illness and injury and showed there is no better center forward around right now.
No Lionel Messi, no Neymar, no matter. Luis Suarez stole the show for Barcelona as the Catalans eased past Guangzhou Evergrande in the semifinals of the Club World Cup on Thursday. In the absence of the game's two finest footballers in 2015, the Uruguayan showed he is the best center forward around.
Suarez struggled for goals at the beginning of his Camp Nou career, but really got going after Christmas and ended the campaign with 25 in 43 games en route to the club's treble triumph.
