Basta yaaaaaaa, Cabron ! y Bona nit 🥂
Whether you like him at Barca or not, the man would have scored goals in any team, in any league in the world.

The idea he should be downplayed because he played in the Buli the majority of his career, which is admittedly the easiest major league to score goals in, is not fair on him at all. He would have destroyed the Prem too, and I've no doubt he'd still score plenty there even now at 38.

Some dudes just have goals in their DNA, and he is one of them.

I don't downplay his goalscoring abilities, it's other parts of his game (most of them understandable due to age though) and high wages (which we should obviously blame Lieporta/Alemany and not Lewa for; nobody in his right mind would turn down high wages if offered) that I have problems with.

Sometimes I wonder how different things would be in alternate universe (one thing I'm sure of is that 8-2 wouldn't happened) if we would push out Suarez in 2018 or 2019 when he started to show signs of decline in his overall game although he still banged goals and brought Lewa (instead of Griezmann who I've always liked but he just wasn't a fit for a team built around Messi) at that time. He would have fun playing alongside Messi and Leo would have someone who could still move instead of his crippled walking amigo alongside him.
