Your support makes all the difference.When Luis Suarez first came into the Barcelona team, there were concerns that he wasn't fitting in with his star strike partners, Lionel Messi and Neymar.
After serving his biting ban, the £75million Suarez was thrust into the starting line-up against Real Madrid and struggled.
He continued to struggle in the early days, failing to score in his first five matches for the club and in his first seven in Liga. In fact, the Uruguayan had only three goals in 11 matches before the winter break.
But those days are long gone. During a 6-0 win against Getafe on Tuesday night, Suarez, scored two, Lionel Messi scored two and Neymar scored one. The trio also assisted at least once, with four of their six goals.
The goals took Barcelona's front three beyond an astonishing milestone - 100 goals between them this season in all competitions.
Messi, Suarez and Neymar have 102 goals between, in just 129 combined games; they also have a further 50 assists this season.
