Suárez, At The Heart Of The Action

*URUGUAYAN ON TOP FORMLeo Messi is Barcelona's top scorer across the four competitive matches the team have played this season. He put away a brace against Sevilla in Tbilisi for the UEFA Super Cup, finding the back of the net again in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic at the Camp Nou. The 'Azulgrana' who has made the biggest impression on these early games has, however, been Luis Suárez.The Uruguayan has begun this season as he ended the last, on excellent form, leading to his involvement in the majority of the goals the team have scored to date.
Suárez has himself been responsible for two goals - one against Sevilla, getting on the end of a great pass from Sergio Busquets and the second being the all-important winner at San Mames, when he smashed the ball in past Gorka Iraizoz following a great cross from Jordi Alba.
And then there are the assists, two in total. One came against Sevilla when the Uruguayan sprinted uncontested up the field and failed in his attempt to slip past Beto. He did pick up the rebound, however, which he passed to Rafinha to finish. The Camp Nou provided the backdrop for the second, against Athletic, when he chested the ball to Messi for the Argentine to do the rest.
Suárez also had a hand in a fifth goal, albeit without being credited with an assist: the ex-Liverpool man was brought down on the edge of the area for the first of Messi's two free-kick strikes in the UEFA Super Cup.
