#2 Luis Suarez

Luis Suarez opened the scoring against Getafe with a lobbed finish

The last few years have not been the best of times for Luis Suarez, as the 32-year-old has come in for criticism over multiple issues including his added weight and laborious play.

In the continued absence of Lionel Messi, most of the goalscoring burden has been placed on Luis Suarez' shoulders, and having missed some matches at the start of the season due to injury, he marked his return to fitness with two goals from the bench in the game against Valencia.

Against Getafe, the Uruguayan international showed great technique and composure to expertly lift a long ball by ter Stegen over David Soria and into the back of the net to put Barcelona 1-0 up in the 41st minute.

Though he could not add to his tally, Suarez continually put the Getafe defence on the backfoot, and ended the game with four shots of which two were on target.
