Luis Suarez said he was shocked to finish the season as Barcelona's central striker ahead of Lionel Messi.
Luis Suarez never expected to replace Lionel Messi as Barcelona's number nine when he moved to the Spanish giant from Liverpool in 2014.
Suarez has made remarkable improvements on already good form since swapping Anfield for Camp Nou and capped off a second successive La Liga-winning campaign with the Pichichi Trophy, awarded to the top goal scorer.
Suarez scored 40 goals from 35 appearances in the league this season, pipping Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo to the award with a hat trick on the final day of the league season and, more remarkably, usurped Messi as Barca's preferred central striker in the process.
