Luis Alberto Suárez Díaz^[a] (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈlwis ˈswaɾes]; born 24 January 1987) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a striker for Major League Soccer club Inter Miami. Known for his goal scoring ability, movement, and clinical finishing, he is regarded as one of the best players of his generation as well as one of the greatest strikers of all time. Nicknamed "El Pistolero" ("The Gunman"), individually, he has won two European Golden Shoes, an Eredivisie Golden Boot, a Premier League Golden Boot and a Pichichi Trophy. He has scored over 500 career goals for club and country.^[2]

Suárez began his senior club career at Nacional in 2005. At age 19, he signed for Groningen, before transferring to Ajax in 2007. There, he won the KNVB Cup and the Eredivisie. In 2011, Suárez signed for Premier League club Liverpool, and won the League Cup in his first full season. Having established a strike partnership with Daniel Sturridge, he equalled the goalscoring record for a 38-game Premier League season and won his first European Golden Shoe in 2014. That summer, Suárez moved to Barcelona in a transfer worth £64.98 million (€82.3 million adjusted for inflation), making him one of the most expensive players of all time.

Suárez was part of a dominant trio dubbed MSN alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar, winning the treble of La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the UEFA Champions League in his first season. In his second season, he won the Pichichi Trophy and his second European Golden Shoe, becoming the first player since 2009 to win both awards other than Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.^[3] He also led La Liga in assists, becoming the first player to do so in both goals and assists in league history.^[4]^[5] With Barcelona, Suárez won ten additional trophies, including three La Liga titles and three Copas del Rey. He signed for Atlético Madrid in 2020, winning his fifth La Liga title in his debut season.^[6]

At international level, Suárez is Uruguay's all-time leading goalscorer, and formerly held the title of highest scorer in CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup qualifiers before being surpassed by Lionel Messi.^[7] He has represented his nation at four editions of the FIFA World Cup and five editions of the Copa América, as well as the 2012 Summer Olympics and the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup. He was named in the 2010 World Cup All-Star Team and won the 2011 Copa América, where he was awarded Best Player. Outside of his football credentials, Suárez has been a source of controversy throughout his career,^[8]^[9]^[10] including a goal-line handball against Ghana at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, biting opponents on three occasions,^[11]^[12]^[13]^[14] accusations of diving,^[15]^[16] and racial incidents.

Club career

[edit]

Youth

[edit]

Suárez lived his early years at the Cerro neighbourhood in Salto, where he played youth football at Sportivo Artigas.^[17] At age seven, he moved with his family (parents and six brothers) to Montevideo, where he played youth football at Urreta.^[18] When he was a child, a car ran over his foot, breaking the fifth metatarsal bone. In spite of the injury, he continued to play.^[19]

Nacional

[edit]

Suárez joined local side Nacional's youth team at age 14.^[20] At age 16, Suárez headbutted a referee after showing his discontent following a red card, although a sports editor claimed he "accidentally fell into the referee".^[21] One night, he was caught drinking and partying, prompting his coach to threaten he would never play unless he started playing football more seriously.^[20] In May 2005, at age 18, Suárez made his first-team debut against Atlético Junior in the Copa Libertadores.^[20] He scored his first goal in September 2005^[22] and helped Nacional win the 2005–06 Uruguayan league with 10 goals in 27 matches.^{[citation needed]}

Suárez was found by a group of scouts from the Dutch club Groningen when they were in Uruguay to scout another player. As they watched, he won and converted a penalty and scored a "wonder goal" against Defensor. After watching only that match, the scouts approached Suárez and said they wanted to buy him, and after the season, Groningen paid Nacional €800,000 for him.^[20] Suárez was thrilled to go to Europe because his then girlfriend, and now wife, Sofía Balbi, had moved to Barcelona; they had maintained a long-distance relationship for a year and he wanted to move closer to her.^[21]^[22]

Groningen

[edit]

Suárez was 19 years old when he joined Groningen. Initially, Suárez struggled because he could not speak Dutch or English, and he played on the second team to adjust to the Dutch game.^[23] His teammate and fellow Uruguayan, Bruno Silva, and his teammate Rùfson, helped him settle into living in the Netherlands and playing for a new team.^[23] He worked hard to learn Dutch and his teammates respected him for his efforts with the language.^[23] Suárez scored goals for Groningen, but he also had disciplinary problems; in one five-game stretch in January 2007, he scored four goals but received three yellow cards and one red card.^[24] Suárez especially made his mark in a 4–3 home win over Vitesse, when with ten minutes to go he subsequently won a penalty and scored two goals.^[25] Suárez ended with 10 goals in 29 league appearances^[26] to help Groningen finish eighth in the 2006–07 Eredivisie.^[23] He also scored in a 4–2 loss to Serbian club Partizan in his European debut on 14 September 2006.^[23]^[27]

Ajax saw potential in Suárez and offered Groningen €3.5 million for him, but Groningen rejected the offer.^[28] Suárez was upset and brought his case to the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB)'s arbitration committee to try to facilitate the sale.^[28] The arbitration committee ruled against him on 9 August 2007, but that same day, Ajax increased their offer to €7.5 million and Groningen accepted.^[29]^[30]

Ajax

[edit]

2007–09: Development and breakthrough

[edit]

On 9 August 2007 Suárez signed a five-year contract with Ajax, for a transfer fee of €7.5 million,^[28]^[30] and made his club debut in a UEFA Champions League qualifier against Slavia Prague.^[31] He scored one goal in his Eredivisie debut for the club^[32] and two goals in his home debut at the Amsterdam Arena.^[33] Ajax finished second in the league table in the 2007–08 season^[34] and Suárez scored 17 goals in 33 league appearances, setting up a blossoming striking partnership with league top scorer Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.^[35]

During the 2008–09 season, Ajax head coach Marco van Basten noted how Suárez played an important role in many of Ajax's goals, but Van Basten was also upset by the number of yellow cards Suárez received.^[32] Suárez was suspended for one match^[36] because he was given his seventh yellow card of the season against Utrecht in a 2–0 win.^[37] He was also suspended after a half-time altercation with teammate Albert Luque over a free kick.^[24]^[32] Ajax ended the season in third place.^[38] Suárez scored 22 goals in 31 league matches^[32]^[35] and finished second in scoring tables, one goal behind Mounir El Hamdaoui of AZ.^{[citation needed]} Suárez was also named Ajax Player of the Year.^[39]

2009–10: League top goal scorer

[edit]

Before the 2009–10 season, Martin Jol replaced Van Basten as head coach.^[32] After the departure of Ajax captain Thomas Vermaelen to Arsenal, Jol named Suárez team captain.^[40]^[41] Suárez started scoring goals early in the season with a hat-trick in a 4–1 win against RKC Waalwijk.^[42] He had a number of multiple-goal matches throughout the season, including four in wins over Slovan Bratislava in the UEFA Europe League play-off round,^[43] VVV-Venlo^[44]^[45] and Roda JC.^[46] He scored three in the first half in another win over VVV-Venlo^[47] and six against WHC Wezep in the KNVB Cup as Ajax won by a club-record margin of 14–1.^[48]

Suárez scored two goals in the second leg of the KNVB Cup final and finished as the tournament's top scorer.^[49] Ajax won the Cup final 6–1 on aggregate over Feyenoord,^[39]^[49] but they finished second in the league behind Twente.^[40]

Suárez ended the season as the Eredivisie's top scorer with 35 goals in 33 matches, and had 49 goals in all competitions.^[40] He was named Ajax Player of the Year for the second straight year^[39] and Dutch Footballer of the Year.^[39]^[40]^[50]

2010–11: First biting incident

[edit]

Soon after Suárez returned from his World Cup campaign, he scored his 100th goal for Ajax in a 1–1 home draw against PAOK in a UEFA Champions League qualifier.^[39]^[51] This put him in an elite group of players, including Johan Cruyff, Marco van Basten and Dennis Bergkamp, to score 100 or more goals with the club.^[52]^[51] Suárez continued his scoring run with a hat-trick against De Graafschap in a 5–0 win.^[53]

On 20 November 2010, Suárez bit PSV's Otman Bakkal on the shoulder during a 0–0 draw. Ajax suspended him for two matches and fined him an undisclosed amount, which the club said they would donate to a "good cause".^[54] The Dutch daily newspaper De Telegraaf branded Suárez the "Cannibal of Ajax".^[11]^[52] The KNVB increased Suárez's suspension to seven league matches.^[55] Suárez apologized for his actions through a video he uploaded to his Facebook page.^[52]

Liverpool

[edit]

Transfer

[edit]

During the suspension, Ajax were in contact with other European clubs interested in Suárez. On 28 January 2011, they accepted a €26.5 million (£22.8 million) offer for Suárez from Premier League club Liverpool.^[56]^[57]^[58] Despite leaving while suspended, Suárez departed Ajax on good terms, and he was given a farewell sendoff after an Ajax match. During the sendoff, an Ajax coach spoke to him and the crowd and said how the club wished he could stay longer; the crowd applauded their agreement and fireworks followed.^[59] Ajax ended the 2010–11 season as Eredivisie champions^[60] and Suárez was given a winner's medal^{[citation needed]}^[61] for his 7 goals in 13 appearances.^[62]

On 31 January 2011, Suárez signed a five-and-a-half-year deal with Liverpool until 2016,^[56]^[63] and was the club's most expensive signing (£22.8 million) until the arrival of Andy Carroll (£35 million) a few hours later.^[64] Suárez requested the number seven shirt, which had been worn by Liverpool legends Kenny Dalglish, his new manager, Kevin Keegan, and Peter Beardsley^[65]

2011–12: Early seasons

[edit]

Suárez made his Liverpool debut on 2 February against Stoke City at Anfield in a 2–0 win; he came on as a substitute and scored Liverpool's second goal in front of the Kop in the 79th minute.^[64]^[66] He was one of Liverpool's best players during his partial season^[67]^[68] and helped Liverpool go from 12th in the league in mid-January^[67] to finish sixth.^[69] He finished the 2010–11 season with four goals in 13 games.^[62]

After winning the Player of the Tournament at the 2011 Copa América,^[70] Suárez had a disappointing 2011–12 season by his standards.^[71] Liverpool finished in eighth place and Suárez scored 11 league goals.^[71] On 26 February, Liverpool won the League Cup, defeating Cardiff City in a penalty shootout.^[72] On 28 April, Suárez scored his first Liverpool hat-trick in a 3–0 win against Norwich City at Carrow Road.^[73] He finished sixth for the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or.^[74]

Racial abuse incident

[edit]

The season was marked by an incident in which Suárez was found guilty by a three-man panel from The Football Association (FA) of racially abusing Patrice Evra during a match against Manchester United in October; he was issued an eight-match suspension and a £40,000 fine.^[75] Suárez disputed this decision.^[76]

After a 1–1 draw against Manchester United on 15 October 2011, Suárez was accused of racially abusing Evra,^[77] and the FA opened up an investigation into the incident.^[77] Suárez wrote on his Twitter and Facebook pages that he was upset by the accusation and denied the claims.^[78] On 16 November, the FA announced it would charge Suárez with "abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour contrary to FA rules", including "a reference to the ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race of Patrice Evra". Liverpool later released a statement announcing Suárez would plead innocent, adding they would "remain fully supportive" of him.^[79] On 20 December, the FA concluded a seven-day hearing, handing Suárez an eight-match ban and a £40,000 fine for racially abusing Evra.^[75]^[80]^[81]

In their next meeting in February, during the pregame handshakes, Suárez avoided shaking Evra's hand, for which Suárez and Dalglish were later forced to apologise.^[82] Suárez was also banned for one match for making an obscene gesture towards Fulham fans.^[83]

2012–13: Return and individual success

[edit]

On 7 August 2012, Suárez signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool.^[84] On 26 August, he scored his first goal of the 2012–13 season in a 2–2 draw with champions Manchester City at Anfield.^[85] On 29 September 2012, Suárez scored a hat-trick in Liverpool's Premier League fixture away at Norwich City for the second consecutive season.^[86]

On 6 January 2013, Suárez handled the ball before scoring the decisive goal in Liverpool's 2–1 win over Mansfield Town from the Conference National in an FA Cup third round match. Liverpool's manager Brendan Rodgers defended his player by claiming "it's not his job to own up", while Mansfield manager Paul Cox said he felt "a little bit gutted" by the "instinctive" handball, but admitted he would have accepted a goal scored like that by one of his players.^[87]

On 19 January, Suárez scored his seventh goal in three matches against Norwich, as Liverpool cruised to a 5–0 home league victory.^[88] The following week, Suárez captained Liverpool for the first time for the FA Cup fourth round match against Oldham Athletic; Liverpool lost 2–3.^[89] On 2 March, Suárez scored a hat-trick against Wigan Athletic, leading Liverpool to a dominant 4–0 victory at the DW Stadium. In so doing, he became only the third Liverpool player to score 20 Premier League goals in a single season after Robbie Fowler and Fernando Torres.^[90] On 10 March, Suárez scored his 50th goal in all competitions since joining the Reds by scoring the opener in a 3–2 home victory over Tottenham Hotspur, ending Spurs' 12-match unbeaten run. He was also named man of the match for his performance after he won the decisive penalty which Steven Gerrard converted.

At the end of the season, Suárez was one of six players named on the shortlist for PFA Players' Player of the Year.^[91] Suárez finished second in the final ballot behind Gareth Bale of Tottenham^[92] and was named in the PFA Team of the Year.^[92] He was second-top goalscorer in the Premier League for 2012–13 with 23 goals and Liverpool's top scorer in all competitions with 30 goals.^[93] On 28 May 2013, he was named as Liverpool's player of the season after receiving 64% of votes in a poll of the club's supporters.^[94]

Second biting incident

[edit]

On 21 April 2013, during a 2–2 draw with Chelsea in a Premier League match at Anfield, Suárez bit Branislav Ivanović; this was the second time Suárez had bitten an opponent.^[95] It was not noticed by the officials, and Suárez scored an equalizer in injury time.^[12] The bite prompted UK Prime Minister David Cameron to call on the FA to take a hard line with Suárez: the FA charged him with violent conduct and he was fined an undisclosed sum by his club.^[96] Contrary to claims from Suárez, Ivanović did not accept an apology.^[96] Suárez accepted the violent conduct charge but denied the FA's claim the standard punishment of three matches was clearly insufficient for his offence.^[97] A three-man independent panel appointed by the FA decided on a ten-game ban for Suárez, who did not appeal the ban; the panel criticized Suárez for not appreciating "the seriousness" of the incident when he argued against a long ban. The panel also wanted to send a "strong message that such deplorable behaviours do not have a place in football", while noting that "all players in the higher level of the game are seen as role models, have the duty to act professionally and responsibly, and set the highest example of good conduct to the rest of the game – especially to young players".^[98]

On 31 May 2013, Suárez said he would be seeking an exit from Liverpool in the summer, citing excessive media attention on his family as a reason for wanting to leave.^[99] On 6 August, after Liverpool had rejected a bid of £40,000,001 for the player from Arsenal, Suárez reiterated his wish to leave Liverpool and said Liverpool had previously promised to allow him a transfer if the club failed to qualify for the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League.^[100] The following day, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said Liverpool had not broken any promises to Suárez and that the player had shown "total disrespect" for the club.^[101] After this incident, the British press reported that Suárez had been instructed to train away from the Liverpool first-team squad by Rodgers.^[101]^[102]^[103] On 8 August, Liverpool owner John W. Henry stated that Suárez would not be allowed to leave the club.^[104]

2013–14: European Golden Shoe and departure

[edit]

On 14 August, Suárez reversed his position about wanting to leave the club, with reports stating he wanted to stay at the club and that he was possibly going to sign a contract extension, citing the support from Liverpool supporters as the reason for his unexpected turnaround.^[105]^[106] Suárez returned to first-team training two days later after "offer[ing] contrition" to his teammates but reportedly not apologizing to his manager.^[107] On 25 September, Suárez returned to the Liverpool team after his suspension to make his first appearance of the 2013–14 season in a League Cup third round tie against Manchester United at Old Trafford, losing 1–0.^[108]^[109] On 29 September, Suárez made his first Premier League appearance of the season, scoring twice as Liverpool defeated Sunderland 3–1 at the Stadium of Light.^[110] On 26 October, he scored his fourth Premier League hat-trick, his first at Anfield, in a 4–1 defeat of West Bromwich Albion.^[111]

On 4 December, Suárez scored four goals against Norwich City in a 5–1 home win.^[112] He became the first player in Premier League history to score three hat-tricks against the same club, and took his scoring record against Norwich to 11 goals in 5 matches.^[113] On 15 December, Suárez captained Liverpool for the first time in a Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur.^[114] He both scored and assisted twice as the team recorded a 5–0 win at White Hart Lane to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal to two points.^[115] The following day, Suárez was named the Football Supporters' Federation Player of the Year for 2013.^[116] On 20 December, Suárez signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract with Liverpool.^[117]^[118]

On 1 January 2014, by scoring in a 2–0 home win over Hull City, Suárez became the first Liverpool player to score 20 or more goals in successive Premier League seasons since Robbie Fowler in 1994–95 and 1995–96.^[119] He equaled Andy Cole's Premier League record for the earliest date to reach the 20-goal mark, but set a new record low of 15 matches.^[120] His strike partnership this season with Daniel Sturridge has earned them a nickname "SAS", i.e., Sturridge and Suárez.^[121]

On 1 March, Suárez made his 100th Premier League appearance, scoring in a 3–0 win over Southampton at St Mary's Stadium.^[122] In the following fixture, he scored his 25th league goal of the season as Liverpool defeated Manchester United at Old Trafford for the first time since 2009 by a convincing three-goal margin.^[123] On 22 March, Suárez scored his sixth Premier League hat-trick, and third of the season, in a 6–3 win over Cardiff City at the Cardiff City Stadium.^[124] On 30 March, he broke Robbie Fowler's club record of 28 goals in a Premier League season in a 4–0 home win against Tottenham which took Liverpool top of the league with six matches remaining.^[125] On 20 April, he scored in a 3–2 win at Norwich to become the first Liverpool player to score 30 league goals in a season since Ian Rush in 1986–87.^[126] This also made him the seventh player to score 30 goals in a Premier League season, following Andy Cole, Alan Shearer, Kevin Phillips, Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robin van Persie.^[127]

On 18 April, Suárez was named as one of the six players nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award for the second consecutive season.^[128] On 27 April, he won the award, becoming the first non-European to win the award.^[129] On 5 May 2014, Suárez was named as the Football Association Writers Player of the Year.^[130] He finished the season with 31 goals in 33 matches, winning the Premier League Golden Boot, with Sturridge as runner-up,^[131] as Liverpool came second in the league and returned to the UEFA Champions League. Suárez also won the Barclay's Premier League Player of the Season award.^[132] As the Premier League's top scorer with 31 goals, he also shared the European Golden Shoe with Cristiano Ronaldo.^[133]

Barcelona

[edit]

Signing and suspension

[edit]

On 11 July 2014, Suárez agreed with Barcelona on a five-year contract for an undisclosed transfer fee, however, according to a leaked document by Football Leaks, the fee was £64.98 million (€82.3 million adjusted for inflation), making him one of the most expensive players in world football history.^[134]^[135]^[136] Barça confirmed Suárez would wear the number 9 shirt for the 2014–15 season.^[137]

Suárez missed the first part of the season after being found guilty of biting Italian player Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.^[138] As part of the suspension, he was banned from all "football-related activities", including training for Barcelona, for four months (until 26 October). He was also banned from entering any stadium, even as a spectator, during the same period.^[138] On 24 July, Suárez and his lawyers filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and requested the sanctions be reduced or the suspension to be lifted.^[139] The parties were heard at a hearing at the CAS offices in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 8 August.^[140] Six days later, the CAS confirmed the ban imposed by FIFA against Suárez, who remained suspended from football for four months, as well as a nine-match ban in internationals, the first of which was served in Uruguay's round of 16 match against Colombia in the 2014 World Cup. However, the CAS removed the player's "football-related activities" ban and he was allowed to train with Barcelona. As a result of this ban, Suárez was banned from participating in the 2015 Copa América.

The CAS permitted Suárez to play in friendly matches, and he made his Barcelona debut on 18 August against Club León of Mexico at the Camp Nou, replacing Rafinha for the final 14 minutes of an eventual 6–0 win in the Gamper Trophy. Fellow forwards Lionel Messi and Neymar had already been substituted off by the time Suárez took to the pitch.^[141]

2014–15: MSN trio and treble winner

[edit]

Suárez made his competitive debut for Barcelona on 25 October, starting in attack with Messi and Neymar away to Real Madrid in El Clásico.^[142] Although he set up Neymar for the opening goal in the fourth minute, Suárez was substituted in the second half and Barcelona lost 3–1.^[142] He scored his first goal for the club on 26 November in a 4–0 win at APOEL in the UEFA Champions League group stage.^[143] On 20 December, he scored his first league goal for the club in his eighth La Liga match, contributing to a 5–0 home win against Córdoba.^[144]

On 24 February 2015, Suárez scored twice as Barça defeated English champions Manchester City 2–1 in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie.^[145] On 4 March, he scored in Barcelona's 3–1 Copa del Rey semi-final win over Villarreal to qualify the club for its 37th Spanish Cup final.^[146] On 8 March, Suárez scored twice in a 6–1 home win over Rayo Vallecano.^[147] On 22 March, Suárez scored the winning goal for Barcelona in the 2–1 victory over Real Madrid at Camp Nou.^[148] In the post-match press conference, his coach Luis Enrique lauded Suárez, saying, "Very few players can score a goal like he did, and that is why we signed him. He can decide games. He's a pure scorer, who needs very little to finish."^[148]

On 15 April, Suárez scored two goals in a 3–1 UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg victory over Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes.^[149] He nutmegged PSG defender David Luiz twice before scoring both goals.^[150] On 2 May, he scored his first hat-trick for the club, in 8–0 win at Córdoba.^[151] On 12 May, Suárez set up both of Neymar's goals in the second leg of Barcelona's UEFA Champions League semi-final tie as they went on to win 5–3 on aggregate against Bayern Munich.^[152] Suárez scored in the Champions League final against Juventus on 6 June in Berlin, putting the team back into the lead in an eventual 3–1 win by converting the rebound after Gianluigi Buffon saved from Messi. The win sealed a treble for the team.^[153]

Suárez ended his first season at Barcelona with 25 goals and 20 assists in all competitions.^[154] The Barcelona attacking trio of Messi, Suárez and Neymar, dubbed "MSN", ended with 122 goals, the most in a season for an attacking trio in Spanish football history.^[155]

2015–16: Second European Golden Shoe, domestic success

[edit]

Suárez opened the 2015–16 season by scoring and assisting a goal in Barcelona's 5–4 extra time victory over Sevilla in the 2015 UEFA Super Cup, on 11 August 2015.^[156] On 25 October, he scored his first hat trick of the season, as Barcelona beat Eibar 3–1. The following week, Suárez scored in a 2–0 away win against Getafe after being assisted with a backheel from Sergi Roberto, his 300th career goal.^[157] On 21 November, Suárez scored twice in Barcelona's 4–0 away win against Real Madrid.^[158] On 17 December, Suárez scored all three goals as Barcelona defeated Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande 3–0 in the 2015 FIFA Club World Cup semi-final in Yokohama, Japan, becoming the first player to score a hat-trick in the competition's history.^[159] He then scored twice in Barcelona's 3–0 win over Argentine club River Plate in the final,^[160] finishing the tournament as top scorer with five goals and being named the best player of the competition.^[161] On 17 January 2016, Suárez scored a hat trick against Athletic Bilbao, in a game that ended 6–0 for Barcelona.

On 3 February 2016, Suárez scored four goals in a 7–0 Copa del Rey win against Valencia.^[162] On 16 February, he recorded his 3rd hat trick of the LaLiga Campaign, netting 3 against Celta Vigo in Barcelona's 6–1 win. On 16 March, he scored an acrobatic goal as Barcelona beat Arsenal 3–1 in the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie.^[163] On 5 April, he scored both of Barcelona's goals in a 2–1 comeback victory over Atlético Madrid during their first leg of the quarter-finals,^[164] though Barcelona were still eliminated from the competition following defeat in the second leg.^[165] On 20 April, Suárez again scored four times in a match, as well as assisting three further goals for teammates, as Barça won 8–0 away at Deportivo La Coruña in La Liga. Three days later, he scored another four goals in a 6–0 home win over Sporting Gijón, becoming the first player to score four times in back-to-back matches in the history of La Liga.^[166] On 30 April, Suárez became only the second player in the history of the club to reach the milestone of 35 goals in a single league season.^[167]^[168]

2014 FIFA World Cup, third biting incident

[edit]

On 22 May, Suárez underwent emergency surgery on his left knee. He was confined to a wheelchair for a time, leading to rumours he would be unable to participate in the World Cup.^[326]^[327]^[328] He was named as a substitute for Uruguay's first match, a 3–1 defeat to Costa Rica, but did not play in the match. Suárez started Uruguay's second match against England and scored both of the team's goals in a 2–1 win at the Arena Corinthians in São Paulo.^[329]

For Uruguay's final group match against Italy on 24 June, Uruguay needed a win to advance to the knockout stage while Italy only needed a draw.^[330] Around the 79th minute and with the score at 0–0, Suárez clashed with Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini while waiting for a cross. Replays showed that Suárez lunged at Chiellini and bit his shoulder (Chiellini showed bite marks), followed by Suárez falling and clutching his face.^[13]^[331] The controversial incident made headline news around the world.^[332] As the Italian players protested to Mexican referee Marco Antonio Rodríguez for not penalizing Suárez for the bite, Uruguay won a corner and scored. The match would finish 1–0 to Uruguay as they qualified for the knockout stage and eliminated Italy, who finished third in the group.^[13]^[331]^[333]

Two days later, on 26 June, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee, banned Suárez for nine international matches, effective immediately, meaning he would take no further part in the World Cup. The ban ruled him out of 2015 Copa América as well. It was the longest such ban in World Cup history, exceeding the eight-match ban handed to Italy's Mauro Tassotti for breaking the nose of Spain's Luis Enrique at the 1994 World Cup.^[138]^[334] He was also banned from taking part in any football-related activity (including entering any stadium) for four months and fined CHF100,000.^[138]^[334] The seven-member FIFA panel studied the incident from 34 camera angles and rejected Suárez's defense that the bite was as a result of an accidental collision, instead finding the bite was "deliberate, intentional and without provocation... with the intention of wounding [Chiellini] or at least of destabilizing him". The severity of the penalty was due to the fact it was Suárez's third biting offence, as well as what FIFA saw as a lack of remorse.^[335] Soon after the suspension was announced, online gambling firm 888poker cancelled its sponsorship deal with Suárez.^[336] With Suárez banned, Uruguay lost their next match 0–2 to Colombia and were eliminated from the World Cup.^[337]

On the same day the ban was announced, the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) said it would appeal the suspension.^[338] Suárez's lawyer said that "we don't have any doubts" of a European-based campaign against Suárez.^[339] Various Uruguayan individuals defended Suárez, questioning if he had actually bitten Chiellini, and criticized the severity of his ban, including President of Uruguay José Mujica, who labelled the ban "fascist" and called FIFA "a bunch of old sons of bitches";^[340]^[341] AUF president Wilmar Valdez;^[338] Uruguay captain Diego Lugano;^[342] and Uruguay head coach Óscar Tabárez, who resigned from two FIFA posts in protest of the ban.^[343] The Uruguayan media were also noted to have been in a defiant and defensive mood.^[344] For non-Uruguayan parties, Chiellini, who was bitten, called the ban "excessive", while international players' union FIFPro called for Suárez to "receive all the support he needs" and that the "focus should be on the rehabilitation and serious treatment" of Suárez.^[343]

Six days after the incident, on 30 June, Suárez apologized to Chiellini through Twitter and vowed never to repeat the incident, while writing that the "physical result of a bite" occurred in a collision with Chiellini.^[345]^[346] Chiellini responded through Twitter indicating all was forgotten and his hope that FIFA would reduce Suárez's suspension.^[346]^[347]

On 3 July, the AUF appealed Suárez's ban,^[348] but it was rejected by FIFA on 10 July.^[349]^[350] With Suárez's ban not preventing him from transferring to another club,^[351] it was announced on 11 July that Suárez had agreed to move to Barcelona.^[352]^[353]^[354] Days before the transfer, Suárez's apology to Chiellini had been praised by various Barcelona club individuals. Barcelona club president Josep Maria Bartomeu said the apology was "honorable", sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta welcomed Suárez as being "humble enough to admit an error" while new signing Ivan Rakitić commended Suárez's "character and strength".^[355]^[356]

Copa América Centenario and 2018 FIFA World Cup

[edit]

On 25 March 2016, after over a year of international absence for Uruguay, Suárez scored an equalizer against Brazil in Recife for a 2–2 draw in the qualification process for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.^[357] Suárez was included in Uruguay's 23-man squad for the Copa América Centenario, although a hamstring injury sustained in the Copa del Rey final on 22 May put his place in the team in jeopardy.^[172]^[171] Although he remained in the squad, he missed both of his national side's opening group losses to Mexico and Venezuela, which resulted in a first-round elimination from the tournament.^[358] He was once again left on the substitutes' bench in Uruguay's final 3–0 group win over Jamaica on 13 June.^[359]

Suárez scored twice on 10 October 2017 as Uruguay won 4–2 at home to Bolivia in their final World Cup qualifying match, thus securing their place for the tournament in Russia, as well as becoming the joint all-time leading scorer in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers with 21 goals, alongside Argentina's Lionel Messi, overtaking the previous record which was held by Hernán Crespo.^[360]^[361] In March, Uruguay won the 2018 China Cup, and Suárez scored his 50th international goal with a penalty against the Czech Republic in the semi-finals, winning it himself when fouled by goalkeeper Jiří Pavlenka.^[362] He won his 100th cap on 20 June 2018 in Uruguay's second group match at the World Cup, scoring the only goal against Saudi Arabia at the Rostov Arena in Rostov-on-Don to advance the nation into the last 16, for which Suárez was given man of the match.^[363] In the final group game on 25 June, Suárez was again named the man of the match as he scored Uruguay's opener with a free kick into the bottom corner in a 3–0 win over hosts Russia.^[364] In the Round of 16 match against Portugal on 30 June, he set-up Cavani's opening goal in an eventual 2–1 victory.^[365] Uruguay were eliminated from the tournament following a 2–0 defeat to France in the quarter-finals on 6 July.^[366]

2019–2020: Qualifiers and Copa América upset

[edit]

In March 2019, manager Tabárez included Suárez in the final 23-man Uruguay squad for the 2019 Copa América in Brazil.^[367] On 16 June, he scored the third goal in a 4–0 win over Ecuador in the team's opening group match of the tournament, also setting up the opener scored by Nicolás Lodeiro.^[368]

In the quarter-finals against Peru on 29 June, he had a goal disallowed by VAR for offside, and was subsequently the only player to miss his spot-kick in the resulting penalty shoot-out, following a 0–0 draw after regulation time, which saw Uruguay eliminated from the competition.^[369]

On 8 October 2020, Suárez scored the first goal of the South American 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification, becoming the first player ever to score the opening goal three times (after his 2010 and 2014 strikes) in the competition's history.^[370]

2021–2022: Copa América and World Cup

[edit]

On 22 June 2021, Suárez scored in a 1–1 draw against Chile in Uruguay's second group match of the 2021 Copa América in Brazil.^[371] However, Uruguay lost against Colombia in the quarter-finals on penalties after a goalless draw.^[372]

On 2 December 2022, in Uruguay's final group match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar against Ghana, Suárez assisted Giorgian de Arrascaeta's second goal of the match to give Uruguay a 2–0 win; however, group rivals South Korea scored a late goal to win 2–1 against already-qualified Portugal, advancing from the group stage instead of Uruguay having scored four goals to Uruguay's two (both teams were tied at 4 points and a 0 goal difference).^[373]

2023–2024: Copa América third place

[edit]

On 13 July 2024, Suárez scored a last minute equalizer in the 2024 Copa América third place play-off match against Canada, after coming off the bench, and also scored his effort in the subsequent penalty shootout, clinching the bronze medal for Uruguay.^[374]

On 2 September 2024, Suárez announced that he would retire from the national team after the match against Paraguay for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers on 6 September,^[375]^[376] ending his 17-year era of representing his national team after a 0–0 draw. He also received a yellow card for his protests to the referee late in the match.^[377]

Style of play

[edit]

Suárez creates goal scoring chances with his powerful shot, and has "remarkable technical ability" according to his FIFA profile.^[378] Known for his direct running at players, Suárez has a particular penchant for nutmegging opponents (putting the ball through their legs).^[379] Liverpool fans (accompanied with a banner) used to say he was so good, "he could nutmeg a mermaid".^[380] Often regarded by many as one of the best strikers of all time,^[381]^[382]^[383]^[384]^[385]^[386]^[387] Suárez is a prolific goal scorer, having the rare distinction of being the leading scorer in three top-flight European leagues, a feat only matched by Ruud van Nistelrooy^[388] and Cristiano Ronaldo.^[389] An accurate finisher^[390] with either foot,^[391] despite being naturally right-footed,^[392] he is capable of scoring from both inside^[393] and outside the penalty area.^[394]

Harry Redknapp said that Suárez could play anywhere – as the target man or behind as a second striker. Uruguay head coach Óscar Tabárez called Suárez "a great forward, an elite player among forwards in the world",^[395] and Liverpool coach Kenny Dalglish said, "he's intelligent, he's had a fantastic education at Ajax".^[396] Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge said his abilities allow him to get into a position to score and evade defenders.^[397]^[398] Meanwhile, Thierry Henry called Suárez the best striker in the world, stating, "He has everything. He's in your face, he's arrogant- in a good way, he can volley it, he can score headers. He has vicious side to his game and I will not call it cheating. He knows how to score goals."^[399]

Suárez has been praised for his work rate,^[397] movement,^[400] and his quickness^[396] that allows him to attack from the outside;^[378] as such he occasionally played as an inverted winger on the left flank during his time with Ajax.^[401] Additionally, Suárez has a liking for often executing dummies (going around the defenders with a fake-out) within his style of dribbling.^[402] During his time in Barcelona, he was known for constantly scoring through volleys or half-volleys.^[403]^[404] Suárez also gained a reputation for consistently scoring acrobatic goals, often shooting off balance, or in air, or with overhead bicycle kicks.^[405]^[406]^[407] Moreover, he is an accurate free kick taker,^[408] and has also been known to take penalties.^[409]

He also creates many scoring opportunities for his teammates with his vision and great passing abilities, as is reflected in his numbers of assists, among the very highest within the stat's recorded history.^[410] Former Liverpool captain, Steven Gerrard, lauded Suárez's unselfish playstyle within his autobiography, stating how that "It's a rare combination, to be a miraculous footballer who is willing to use his gifts to selflessly assist and create goals for a teammate", as well as further writing, "He scores goals. He creates goals. He's hard and horrible to play against. You've got a chance of beating anyone in the world with Luis Suárez in your team".^[411]^[412]

In addition to being a prolific player, Suárez has often been praised for his strong mentality and desire to win. Former Liverpool teammate, Jordan Henderson dubbed Suárez as a "warrior", claiming that his attitude inspired confidence among his teammates.^[413] Meanwhile, Gerrard eulogized his drive to succeed, stating "Luis played to win a five-a-side training session like he was chasing the Champions League or the World Cup. If his team lost a kickaround he went home angry; he always needed to win that badly".^[412] Atletico Madrid coach, Diego Simeone hailed Suárez for the "desire and energy" he brought to the club.^[414] Suárez, himself, has stated that he's the kind of player who would "kill himself just to prevent a throw-in at the 90th minute." in his autobiography.^[415]

Former Ajax coach Marco van Basten criticized Suárez for his tendency to receive yellow cards.^[32] Van Basten said he had a tense relationship with Suárez,^[32] although he conceded that "Luis is unpredictable, he's hard to influence but that makes him special."^[32] At times, Suárez can be dominant but fail to convert his efforts into goals.^[416] Despite his weaknesses, Suárez's leadership stood out to Ajax management.^[56]

Controversies

[edit]

Suárez has been widely accused of diving.^[15]^[417]^[418]^[419] His manager, teammates and various analysts have commented that this reputation for simulation has caused referees not to award him legitimate penalties.^[420]^[421] In January 2013, Suárez admitted to diving against Stoke City in an October 2012 match. This led his manager Brendan Rodgers to comment his actions were "unacceptable" and that he would be dealt with "internally" by the club.^[422] During the 2018 World Cup game against Portugal, after collisions with Portuguese players, Suárez twice acted like he had a head injury despite his head having been untouched.^[423]

During the 2010 FIFA World Cup, in the quarter-final against Ghana, during extra time, Ghana's Stephen Appiah's shot was heading to what could have been a goal.^[292] Suárez then blocked Dominic Adiyiah's goal bound header with his hands. He was sent off for a handball. That led to controversies in which Ghana could have proceeded to the semi-finals of the tournament, had the subsequent penalty been converted.^[293]

Suárez is infamous for biting opponents on multiple occasions. In a Group D matchup at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Suárez was shown to have bitten Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini, resulting in FIFA suspending Suárez from all football activities for 4 months. While playing for Liverpool, Suarez bit Chelsea player Branislav Ivanović in a Premier League match, and was punished with a ten match ban. In an earlier incident while playing for AFC Ajax he was caught biting PSV Eindhoven player Otman Bakkal and was suspended for seven games.^[95] Suárez has also been accused of stamping on opponents in the Premier League and the UEFA Europa League.^[424]^[425]^[426]^[427]

Due to his diving, biting, stamping, and other antics, Suárez has been frequently labelled as a pest and a cheat.^[428] In December 2013, Spanish football website El Gol Digital ranked Suárez at fifth in its list of the world's dirtiest footballers.^[429]

Media and sponsorship

[edit]

Suárez had a sponsorship deal with German sportswear and equipment supplier Adidas, before switching to rivals Puma in 2018.^[430] Suárez starred in a 2014 advert for Beats with other global football stars including Neymar and Thierry Henry, with the theme of "The Game Before the Game" and the players' pre-game ritual of listening to music.^[431] In Uruguay, Suárez has also appeared in advertisements for Abitab, Antel, Cablevisión, Garnier, Pepsi and Samsung.^[432]^[433]

Suárez features in EA Sports' FIFA video game series: as a result of Suárez's ban for his bite on Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup, players in FIFA 15 were unable to select Suárez until his ban ended on 26 October.^[434]

Active on social media, Suárez has over 40 million Instagram followers as of May 2020, the most for a person from Uruguay.^[435]^[436]

Personal life

[edit]

Suárez was born in Salto, Uruguay to Sandra Diaz and Rodolfo Suárez, the fourth of seven boys.^[24]^[437] His older brother, Paolo Suárez, is a retired professional footballer, who last played for Isidro Metapán in El Salvador.

Suárez moved with his family to Montevideo when he was seven, and his parents separated when he was nine.^[437] In Montevideo, he developed his football skills on the streets,^[22]^[437] while also taking up work as a street sweeper at the age of 15.^[21] In 1998, aged 11 he appeared as a contestant on children's game show Aventujuegos, with his team winning: his episode was brought up in a 2011 episode of chat show Noche de Locura and he was surprised the footage had been kept.^[2]

The contrast between his life in Europe and the poverty he left behind has been cited as contributing to his periodic aggression on the field, as well as being a possible explanation for the more forgiving attitudes of the Uruguayan public and press towards such cases, compared to Europe.^[21] Besides his native tongue, Suárez is able to speak Dutch and English.^[438]^[439]

Suárez is of mixed race and has a black grandfather.^[440] The matter of ethnicity was raised in reporting on the Patrice Evra incident, where use by his grandmother, Lila Piriz, of "mi negrito" as a sobriquet has been offered to explain Suárez's repeated use of "negro" over the two-minute altercation; the FA judged his evidence unreliable, issuing him an eight-match ban. His mother also supported the claim Suárez made that using the word was not racist in Uruguay. She said it was "normal", and that it was "a word people use with their friends. It's like calling someone fat, thin or whatever."^[441]

Suárez began dating Sofía Balbi at age 15 in Montevideo; the Balbi family moved to Barcelona in 2003, and Suárez's focus on football strengthened as a result as he wanted to follow them to Europe to join Sofía again.^[21] Suárez married her in 2009, and the couple have a daughter (born 2010) and two sons (born 2013 and 2019).^[442]^[24]^[443] He has a tattoo of his daughter's name Delfina on his wrist which he kisses as part of his goal celebration – this celebration routine is featured in EA Sports' video game FIFA 15 as "Kiss The Wrist".^[444]^[445] In 2014, Suárez joined Barcelona, allowing him to live closer to Sofía's family. On the move, Suárez said, "[Liverpool] did all they could to get me to stay, but playing and living in Spain, where my wife's family live, is a lifelong dream and ambition. I believe now the timing is right."^[446] In 2014, Suárez released his autobiography, Crossing the Line – My Story.^[447]^[448]

Suárez, who is married to an Italian citizen, was eligible to take a B1 Italian Language exam and flew to Perugia in September 2020 to take the test and gain Italian citizenship. Though obtaining the results of the language exam and approval of citizenship takes several months and several years respectively to be processed, Suárez reportedly got his language exam results within hours and would have his citizenship approved in several weeks. The Italian media had noted that this led to accusations of special treatment against Suárez, especially as Italian laws had been changed in 2018 to make obtaining citizenship by marriage more difficult.^[449] In September 2020, an investigation was launched over accusations that he had cheated his way into gaining Italian citizenship.^[226]

It is known that Suárez has used his experience and knowledge to mentor new Uruguayan footballing talents, most notably Darwin Núñez.^[450]

Suárez is a devout Catholic.^[451]
