Luis Suárez Bio

Undoubtedly one of the best strikers to have ever touched a football, Luis Alberto Suarez Diaz is not just famous for his iconic teeth. It’s his feet that do the talking on the football pitch. The 34-year old is currently at Atletico Madrid where he clinched the La Liga trophy in his debut season with the Colchoneros.

There will definitely be no other striker like Suarez. Be it the strength, the skill, the finishing touches, or the vision, Luis Suarez possesses every single ingredient required to build a prolific striker. Born on 24th January, 1987 in Salto, Uruguay to parents Sandra Diaz and Rodolfo Suarez, “El Pistolero” (the gunfighter) began his career with Nacional’s youth team at the age of 14. After that Suarez moved to the Netherlands where he got a gig at Groningen at 19, following which he was signed by Ajax on a five-year contract. At Ajax, Suarez was exceptional, with 111 goals in 159 appearances to his name, ultimately getting named the Player of the Year.

Post his stint at Ajax, Suarez transferred to Liverpool and signed a deal with the Premier League side which would keep him at Merseyside until 2016. And then in 2014 the Urugayan signed a contract with FC Barcelona, and well, the rest is history.

Club and International debut

Nacional: Suarez made it to Nacional’s youth squad at the age of 14. His first-team debut at the club came in May 2005 in a fixture against Atletico Junior in the Copa Libertadores.

International debut: The Uruguayan made his senior debut for the South American side on 8th February 2007 in what was a fixture against Colombia. The match resulted in a 3-1 victory for Uruguay but Suarez was sent off at the 85th minute for dissent.
