Once again, Luis Suárez stepped up to deliver a fine performance for Barcelona, and he managed to nab a piece of history while at it.
The Uruguayan ace scored the first goal for Los Blaugranas against Eibar, reaching 100 La Liga goals for the Catalan club. As of now, Suárez is the fifth most prolific scorer in the domestic competition for Los Culés, and he is now eight goals shy from becoming the fourth best in team history.
