When SUAREZ outperformed Messi, Ronaldo & the WORLD | 2015-16 MASTERCLASS

- Luis Suarez arrived at FC Barcelona with a lot of expectation. In his first season with the club, he helped them to a treble. In his second season? He did the unthinkable at that time: outplay both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Prior to then, and honestly FOLLOWING the 2015-16 season, Messi and Ronaldo dominating the goal contribution charts was no surprise. It had become the norm to see them topping the scoring and assists lists, as well as winning the Ballon d’Or. For Luis Suarez to outscore both of them was unthinkable, but he did it. And from then until this day, nobody has been involved in more goals in a single season than Luis Suarez. Not Messi, not Ronaldo, nor Haaland or Lewandowski.
Luis Suarez did something unthinkable in 2015-16, and with Luis Suarez thinking of retiring, it's a good time to look back upon this era of his career. When Luis Suarez was the best player in the world.

Outro: 12:07 - Sport
You forgot to mention that he won 2 European Golden shoes in the Messi-CR7 era and also he was the first player to outscore Messi and CR7 in LALIGA since 2009. Luis Suarez in his prime was just a ruthless, ferocious monster unleashing his wrath upon the whole world.
Agreed
Suarez was unplayable in this period. Suarez 2015-16 is the dream season for any striker.
13/14 Suarez was truly his prime. He was BETTER than Messi and Ronaldo if you can somehow remove titles from the equation. He was truly the BEST
@@MrAlpaca19in terms of skills
@@MrAlpaca19Ronaldo that season scored record 17 goals (Suarez only scored 26 UCL goals in his career) and assisted 5 assists in 11 games playing as a winger and on top that he scored 31 goals in 28 games in Le Liga.
And Suarez that season didn't score a goal against top 4 sides in the premier league that season 60% his goals come against botom table teams.
i guess man united tottenham chelsea were bottom table teams then@@pauliyonas3576
suarez only play 60 ucl match he had 25 assist too@@pauliyonas3576
Given recent news that Suarez might be heading towards retirement, this is some exceptional timing
genuinely thought this was why Adrian posted the video
A lot can be said for 2020/21 Suarez as well. It obviously wasn't as earth-shattering as 15/16, but he went from being ousted from a Barcelona side in crisis that had just suffered a miserable 2019/20 season where he was one of the only players who seemed to give a damn, to becoming Atletico Madrid's top scorer in 2020/21 with 21 goals in La Liga and being a crucial player in helping Atleti win the league for the first time in 7 years at the age of 34.
_The best ever striker of this generation, objectively speaking._
Even Benz & Lewa couldn't top Suarez!
Prime suarez(his last season with Liverpool till his 2nd season with Barcelona) had all strong traits of both Lewandowski and Benzema.
Even Haaland couldn’t top Suarez
@@nont18411 Haaland is not at the same level as those guys.
@@ammarharith5512 Yet, he's still 22
@@stealthiscoolimagine by the time he's 26
The only man to outscore Messi and Ronaldo twice in Europe(13/14 and 15/16). Luis Suarez was at a different level but got robbed at Ballon D'or since he wasn't even 3rd in the standings and the clear winner in 2016. Plus only the 3rd man ever in La Liga to score 40+ goals. A feat no one have done ever since bar Ronaldo and Messi.
Haaland will get there
He didn't outscored Ronaldo in 2013/14 season they both scored 31 goals in the league but Ronaldo scored 51 goals overall including 17 goals in UEFA champions league.
This man is a liverpool legend to me ...... what a striker !!
Ahh yes the third best player of my generation. No Neymar, No Benzema no Lewandowski no zlatan, it was clearly el pistolero
W
Objectively correct.
Favorite player of all time.
Ah yes a racist and cheater. Get out of here. He’s an unbelievable talent no doubt but let’s not forget the rest. And you lot are weird for defending him
Neuer
He's criminally underrated... More bites than Kane has trophies😂
He won the golden boot twice in the Messi & Ronaldo era, he was generational.
His first season at Barcelona, he was crucial in helping Barcelona win the treble and not bad for a player who served a 4 month ban initially. That 2015/16 season, his 2nd year at Barcelona Luis Suarez was a different beast. Luis Suarez that season had the best individual season, I've ever seen from a player other than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and he was in the same league as both of them in the peak of their powers and in fact was on the same team as Lionel Messi and scored 59 goals and provided what 23 assists and in La Liga alone, he scored 40 goals. 82 goal involvements in one season, that's close to 100 those are Ballon Dor numbers right there and he at his peak that was different gravy right there. Looking at that season, many will wonder why Luis Suarez never made the Ballon Dor podium or came close to winning the award, but that was a world class season right there, 2015/16 Luis Suarez and before that he was great at Barcelona still had great numbers even though he served a suspension and then with a full season under his belt with Lionel Messi and Neymar, he produced the best individual season of his career and he was unplayable.
And seeing you remember so mch mi sre u saw tht Messi gt injured and thn he realise he couldn't win pichichi so everyone started feeding him to pass ronaldo+?? And Ronaldo won champions league and euro, champions league top scorer so hw shld he won Balon dor
@@clevelandmighty1244Ronaldo was lucky
@@clevelandmighty1244 Luis Suarez with the numbers he produced, how did he not make the Ballon Dor podium when he was the top scorer in La Liga was involved in 80+ goals and Barcelona did a double. Antoine Griezmann was pivotal in Atletico Madrid getting to the champions league final, France may have lost the EURO final, but was top scorer and best player in the tournament and that's why he narrowly finished 3rd over Luis Suarez, in terms of individual brilliance he should've made the podium. I have no issue with Cristiano Ronaldo winning it in 2016 when he won 2 big trophies in European football, champions league and EUROs and overall he scored the most goals out of any player in the calendar year of 2016 for club and country.
@@lexkanyima2195 Champions League EURO winner, top scorer in champions league had the most goals out of any player in Europe for club and country and he won the big trophies that year and scored some crucial goals too on the way, Cristiano Ronaldo deserved the Ballon Dor that year. The magical 15/16 season that Luis Suarez had many will wonder how that wasn't worthy of a Ballon Dor and he didn't make the podium that year when he had a season to remember yet was outside the top 3 in Ballon Dor voting and Cristiano Ronaldo won it that year and was well deserving of it.
@@tobaepebinuade5830 Ronaldo was not even the best player in the squad. And winning everything doesn't mean.
It was truly a legendary individual season.
It was but why did bro ghost against atléti in ucl second leg?
@@maksimn5218 it was an off day that's all.
Honestly i feel like he became a better person after those incidents. His focus was on his football, not anything else.
I think you're right! I only brought it up as a potential reason/context for the lack of publicity given to this amazing feat.
@@RabonaTVlet’s just forget the racism. Jeez
@@ozvaldobrink3771 Boring. Racism is such an overused issue, I'm getting tired of it. You sound like those BLM campaigners.
@@ozvaldobrink3771 No, we should not forget that incident. But we should also keep in mind that, people can learn from their mistakes and evolve. You made a mistake but that doesn’t mean you can't learn from it and improve yourself.
An incident in which a well documented asshole used his manager's influence to get a newly arrived southamerican in trouble over a cultural difference?
Yes, I agree, it should not be forgotten how Evra got away with xenofobia.
Funnily enough he also got a front row seat to Suarez's CL winning goal, so you could say karma is a bitch sometimes
Broo we need explanation for the 91 goals of Messi ❤️
It was showed in other videos
I got to see Suarez in the premier league and he was on another level. Antics aside, the guy was deadly as a goal scorer.
Not just Suarez in 2015/16 generally like the whole 2015/16 was amazing probably the best season in recent history not just in football, but in sports, we need a retrospective about that season
Suarez is the best striker since R9, the best of his generation and he is one of the greatest strikers of all time. Prime Suarez had it all!
shows that ballon d'or is a PR award
Yeah i agree but for that season in particular, not really. Ronaldo won the 2 biggest competitions that year. The ucl and the euros and was crucial for his team in both wins. The person who was actually close was Griezmann.
Tell me you didn't watch football that szn. Suarez got KOed in QF by atletico and did nothing in CA
He was an out an out striker with two of the best playmakers on the flanks. Messi even passed the bal to him during a penalty.
Yes, the Bdor PR but only awards one player sometime multiple players are deserving winning trophies, legacy & playing well is most important
@@joshuaguevara1309don’t forget to mention that Suarez scored 14 goals at the end of the la liga’s season, he did in just 5 games. But let’s not forget that they gave him 3 penalties, they donated him like 3 goals, he scored like 9-10 tap ins and penalties, they were mainly passing Suarez because he was just 5 goals away from passing cristation.
As good as he was with Barcelona his knee injury before the end of his last season at Liverpool took robbed him of his former speed a lot. Whenever I think of prime Suarez I always go 2009-10 to 2016-17 but his 2013-14 season was just Earth shattering because of how unreal his dribbles were for a striker.
Not just this year, numbers nerds will tell you he was the third best attacker in the world for several years after joining Barcelona
Moral of the story: "If you want to win the Ballon'Dor, score 50+ goals, win a major trophy and don't bite people."
As a Barca fan that season from Suarez was the very best performance I'd seen from a CF
EL PISTOLERO 👉👉
Thanks for video on Luchito!! Uruguay nomaa
You could argue he had already matched them in his last season in the PL so this season was just insane.
He would be much more talked about if he didn't have to share the same era with those two consistency monsters, a couple of balon d'ors at the bare minimun.
I dislike when people compare Suarez with number 9s, despite being a striker himself, Suarez is much, much more than just a goal scorer. He is a much more complete player. That iis also a fantastic goalscorer.
Suarez has an unspoken record that Messi moor Ronaldo could touch, the only player in LaLiga history to score 4 goals in back to back matches, as in, the guy scored 4 in this match, and then 4 the next match. Also, when I saw Messi win the Ballon D'or over Van Dijk and another time over Lewandowski, I was like, "hell nah, I ain't taking this ceremony seriously again."
Man it feels like all the big character players that i like are retiring this year
Zlatan then Luis Suarez
They are dying breed of footballers who do anything they feel like
We will miss you El Pistorelo
Thanks for some the memories you gave me as a Barca fan
Please do one of these on Forlán! He was class!!!
4:16 - the 2015/16 season was frustrating, they won only 4 trophies out of 6 and set the all time record for goals scored by attacking trios (131 goal for MSN) 😂
Cheers to you.
If Suárez didn’t get injured, he definitely would’ve torn up the 2016 Copa América Centenario with Uruguay and he would’ve probably won the Balon d’Or. Instead, he didn’t play a single minute as Uruguay were shocked in the group stage. The only thing separating Suárez from the rest was the international tournaments. We’ve seen this numerous times where performances at international tournaments take precedence during Balon d’Or rankings and in 2016, Ronaldo won Euro 2016 scoring 3 crucial goals and having 2 assists, Messi got to the 2016 Copa América Final, only losing on penalties after getting 5 goals and 4 assists and then Griezmann got to the Final of Euro 2016 with 6 goals and 2 assists making him the top scorer of the tournament. Now imagine if Uruguay went far in Copa América 2016 with Suárez scoring multiple goals
Still scoring some bangers for Gremio, although we just heard something about his retirement. El Pistolero had an amazing and eventful career.
I heard your president or something was talking about getting him to sign some clause about him not signing for Inter Miami or something to make sure he's not just "retiring "
Good vid, but you need to continue the Weekend Recaps next season ... it's what I subscribed for..
Adrian, you should do a video on di maria since hese going back to benfica. I’m a united fan so don’t quite have the same affection for him as you do, but would still be a good vid
This was a golden time for him. One of the best striker performances. I'll always die by this hill, he's unlikeable as a person (the racism and biting and all sorts) but his talent as a striker is probably the best of his generation.
Great watch as always 👊🏿
Best redemption arc following the Bite trilogy debacle (?)
My favourite footballer❤️🇺🇾
I agree.
But it should be said, because I still remember it quite clearly, the perception at the time was that while his numbers were indeed amazing and impressive, he only beat Messi number wise because Leo was injured for such a long stretch of the season. I'm not saying it's a sound or fair argument, but I distinctly remember that it very much was the one people used the most.
My favorite player of all time
I told people that Suarez was the best player that year.
He wasn't. Dude was nowhere in CA he did perform in ucl though was let down by messi
@@Miuranger1 goals in UCL that season, injured for the Copa. he was factually the best that season. Deluded
@@Maseball. cr7 had 16 goals in ucl while suarez only 8. In the league cr7 had 35 goals & suarez 40. So arguably cr7 was better since ucl >league. Cr7 also won euros, euro tott & ucl.
@@Maseball. no he wasn't u mong. Quite literally got koed by atletico
@@yemi3266 numbers speak for themselves, literally explained in the video
2015-16, imagine if he would have had the free kicks back then...
Hey Adrian you should make a vid about deportivo la Coruña, what happened to them, they were once a power house and now they are stuck in the 3rd division
Also you should make this a series, talking bout the fall of some great clubs like deportivo or Hamburg or other clubs like this 👍🏽
He's fall was really sad like if he had the longevity of Ronaldo he would be on insane career Stats right now...what a Striker at his Peak never seen a striker like him ever since even Lewa and Benz just couldn't do what he did on the pitch especially at Liverpool.
Thank you for making this video. I've been saying this for years and it needs more awereness.
Completely stopped caring about the ballon d'or when Ronaldo won it that year
4:06 he actually scored on the 68th minute. On the 55th minute morata scored an equalizer for juve
I remember this season like it was yesterday, people called me crazy when I said that Suarez deserved the Ballon d'or that year.
This is also year when the ballon d'or lost all credibility to me
2016 Ballon d’Or should have been between Griezmann and Suarez.
But Ronaldo beat them both in the big trophies especially Griezmann. He lost the ucl final and euro to ronaldo
Nope cr7 was overall the best. 2nd top scorer in la liga. Euro team of tournament, 2nd top scorer & winning captain. Ucl winner, best player & top scorer. So statistically & trophy wise cr7 was deserving.
3:10 ironically that picture of Suárez looking like he’s about to bite Chiellini isn’t even from the same game. It’s from the 2013 Confederations Cup
Have to agree with you, I don't like Suarez but there was a time there where he was the prototype of a perfect number 9 and there was none better at the time in that position!
Very sad that he'll be retiring soon, would've loved to have seen MSN one last time. An all time great that many will want to emulate in the future. Gracias pistolero
Danke
Hey! I have the exact same Benfica shirt! 🦅
My man!
He should have been 2nd and thats even debatable because Griezmann i think also should be 2nd. Those saying he should have won i literally dont see how that's possible.
Maybe a good year in 2016
Whats that transition song?? Im gonna keep asking till I get to the bottom of it
hey Adrian,
is there a heigher teir for your subscription??
I always tell ym buddy I think Suarez is the most underrated players in the generation.
2013/2014 suarez was his absolute best. He was still amazing at Barcelona, but his role was truncated due to obvious reasons.
He's in the top 3 strikers for me:
R9, Henry, Suarez
If he wasn't injured at the end of the season, and won the copa america, could he have contented for or even won the ballond'or?
Honestly the Liverpool years he was wonderful but he’s not the only one in that era who could have got the ballon d’or. It’s a w that you finally brung back the Benfica jersey
tbh, i think he still is. the only "center forward" that versatile/effective is Kane (No offence Lewa, you prolly have the best technique - excluding Suarez, perhaps). Like imagine if R9, Kane, and Lewa had a baby and gave it crack cocaine. That's Suarez.
Haaland is in a world of his own, but he (like the others excluding Kane and R9) is the sort of player you need to unlock. Not quite the kind you can throw into any old squad and expect results from... yet.
Suárez didn't make it to Ballon d'Or because of his teeth.
Ha ha ha.
I’m afraid to say that a player with the personal issues shouldn’t be allowed to win these accolades. Unreal baller but it is far more important to be a role model
It's far more important to do your fking job... role model ain't part of the contract
If you take Messi and Ronaldo out Suarez had the best individual season this century
Lewandowski 2019/20 & 2020/21 says high😅
@@yemi3266 he had like 60 something goal involvements Suarez had over 80
Thanks rabona this will be used when i next slander Messi
Many kids nowadays think Benzema and Lewandowski were better than him 🤦🏻♂️
Mo importantly he performs whn it really matters unlike Messi and Ronaldo who for 3-4 yrs just collected stats for no value
14 goals in 5 La Liga games… one of those games, a 5 goal rampage against the “genius” Gary Neville’s frightening Valencia… bless you Lucho
Too much bad history for him to ever win it
Dammit, I keep forgetting Messi and Ronaldo where not human in La Liga...40+ goals in the league for 3 seasons is madness in this day and age😂
I feel football has become harder(unpopular opinion)😅
Maybe it has, or maybe no player has reached that level just because they haven't, at least not yet. Maybe not football being harder, but no player being at that level.
don’t compare el pistolero to a bundesliga merchant
The only reason why Suarez even was in the podium of 3 in 2015/16, is because he is in a Fifa black list, he critizes fifa so many times, and the mafia never forget that, its extremaly laughable and ridiculous that Griezman took his place😂😂😂, Suarez was 10 times more than griezman in that season.. Fifa is a empire of mafia and corruption, you must know that buddy, or you born last year
This is such a revisionist take it's crazy. Suarez had prime Messi and prime Neymar to help him, and all he did with it was pad stats against the likes of Granada and La Coruna. In the CL they only got to QF. If Lewandowski had such a season for Bayern, everybody would call him stat padder that doesn't perform in big matches. And that's without having Messi and Neymar. There's a reason why Lewandowski finished ahead of Suarez in that year's BD'Or.
Suarez has 27 goals in 73 UCL appearances and that's another reason why he's widely considered inferior to Lewandowski.
*Quadruple.....
not to take anything away from Suarez, but when you're making the comparison to Messi and Griezmann, it also has to be considered that they contributed more to the build up beside solely looking at the goal contributions
Good bye Suarez
Still can’t believe that out of all players to break the Messi Ronaldo balon dor cycle, it was luka modric 😭. Modric is obviously a class player but considering the likes of Neymar and Suarez were playing at the same time, it’s kinda crazy.
No one saw it coming, everyone thought it would be a neymar or even hazard at the time
It's funny how the times changed😂😂
That was clearly Ronaldo's or Messi's(individual performance) even possibly Griezmann Ballon Dor😂
Modric shouldn't have won the Bdor. Lewandowski should've broken the cycle in 2020 or 2021
Ah yes the bane of norwich city 😂
Which was never.
Bro can I get a video on Asamoah Gyan who just announced his retirement. He is Africa's greatest striker at the World cup.
For me he's definitely been one of the most overrated strikers during that time, especially for his last few seasons at Barca. He was also really clutch when they needed him to be.
Do you mean underrated?
Overrated?
Never liked the biter, good player but odd lad.
Luis Suarez always stuck his teeth into whatever was in front of him, a true prolific goal scorer and a shame his career is being closed by injury
Yeah. But he is a racist to Patrice Evra. What a great character to look upon. Unplayable. Biter. 10/10 Worldclass player.
MSN getting butthurt over CR winning another GB will never not be funny. All 3 of them teaming up to prevent ronaldo from winning it is sad af..still goated SZN scored vs atletico
@@Vetrus indian curry
He was better at barca than Messi when they played there
There was no racial abuse.
Maybe 2nd place. Do not see why he should have won. Maybe he should not have bit people. Basically the video is trying to justify Suarez getting 2nd place.
Bites have nothing to do with him being factually the best that season
@@Maseball. oh. I didnt know biting other people was a desired trait of a role model.
G+a=goal contribution is a trash stat because you can contribute to a goal in so many ways. If I make a run that drags a defender out of position so you can score I contribute to the goal but I did not get an assist even if I did more than the person that did the pass. that is why goal + assist do not equal the amount you contributed to the goals scored and that is why an assist is worth way less than a goal. Football is not that simple.
Tsk tsk tsk, jealousy.
benzema was NEVER that good
Balon d'or is a scam
Has always been but that year Ronaldo deserved. He edged everyone for the big trophies and was crucial to his team wins
But he's just a pos person though
Been very vocal on this for a long time. Best striker of the generation and the 3rd best player. Neymar, Lewa, Benz ❌
8:40
I'm going to be completely honest here. In my opinion, 61 goal contributions in 53 matches, of which most are in the EPL and many are Haaland playing only 5 minutes or something because Pep is resting him, I think that's more impressive than Suarez's unbelievably impressive 2015-16 season. The Premier League is an insanely difficult league. And as the years go on, the league only gets tougher and tougher.
