adminMADRID. — Luis Suarez could become Barcelona’s highest scoring Uruguayan in Saturday’s Spanish La Liga soccer match at Granada, having equalled in only two seasons what compatriot Ramon Alberto Villaverde Vazquez aggregated in his decade-long stint with the club.
The 29-year-old’s brace against Espanyol in Barca’s 5-0 triumph last Sunday saw him reach 81 goals for the Catalans to equal the record of Villaverde Vazquez, who had joined the club in 1954 and played 10 seasons, scoring 81 goals in 224 games.
In only his second season at Barcelona, Suarez has struck 50 goals in all competitions this season to help the team remain in contention for a domestic double, overtaking his previous record of 49 for Ajax in the 2009-2010 campaign. — Reuters.
