European Golden Shoe For Suarez
Print Edition
LUIS Suarez has received a second European Golden Shoe of his career after becoming the leading scorer in Europe’s top domestic leagues last season. The Barcelona forward scored 40 goals in 35 La Liga starts, helping Barcelona to retain the Spanish title. He ended the 2015-16 campaign with 59 goals in 52 appearances for Barca in all competitions.
“I want to thank Barcelona for being here, for allowing me to achieve my dream and my aims,” the 29-year-old Uruguayan said. “I have spectacular teammates, who make things easy for me although you have to be there to put the ball in,” Suarez said, acknowledging he had “difficult times” before joining the club.
Those difficult times included a four-month ban from FIFA after he bit Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. He ended up winning the La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League in his first season at Barcelona and last season, Suarez helped the club retain the league title and the Cup.
His other golden shoe award came with Liverpool in the 2013-14 when he scored 31 times. He shared the award with Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo that year.
