'I didn't think I was good enough for Barcelona'

The Uruguay striker has been in devastating form since joining the Blaugrana in 2014.

LUIS SUAREZ HAS admitted that he feared he might not be good enough to play for Barcelona.

The Uruguay star moved to Camp Nou from Liverpool in 2014 and was instrumental in helping the Catalan giants win the treble last season after forming a devastating relationship with Lionel Messi and Neymar.

Suarez has improved again this term, scoring 43 goals already as Barca remain on course to make history by retaining the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey trophies.

However, the 29-year-old has since revealed that he originally had doubts about whether he would shine for the Blaugrana.

I dreamed of playing for Barcelona, but even I didn’t believe I was good enough to be Barca’s number nine,” he told Helden TV.

“You always dream of playing with the best and now I’m doing just that, with [Lionel] Messi, Neymar, [Andres] Iniesta, [Sergio] Busquets and so on.”

Such is the quality Suarez oozes alongside Messi and Neymar that many believe this current Barcelona side could be better than the one which dominated under Pep Guardiola between 2008 and 2012.

The ex-Ajax marksman says it is a joy to play alongside the two every week and says their chemistry in attack is purely natural.

“We don’t care about who scores the goals, only about the team doing well,” he added.

We’re all clear about our target, which is to win together. We’re all happy – there is no jealousy between myself, Neymar and Messi.

“Everything comes naturally between us.”
