They will probably not admit it, but it is likely that Barcelona are already sorry for the release of Luis Suarez last summer. The striker is “beyond the peak” but even at the age of 34 he proves game after game that he has a lot more to contribute. Last night (Monday), Suarez was again Atletico Madrid’s man when he scored a double against Salta Vigo, but unfortunately his team absorbed in the 89th minute and the game ended 2-2.

Despite the draw, the Colchoneros are leading the La Liga table safely, with 51 points and a game in hand, compared to the 43rd of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Despite last night’s disappointment, it looks like Atletico are on the right track for their first championship since 2014.

“It’s his job, he’s living that position and we’ll try to make moves so he can continue to do damage to rivals,” he said. Diego Simeone About Suarez. “Good delivery from Jornet, another one from Lodi, and that’s what he does best. The fact that we are talking about it is a sign of goals. He is an important player for us.”

Note the numbers of Suarez, who found the net for the 15th and 16th time in 17 games, a statistic that puts him in first place in the table of conquerors in Spain:

* Suarez has scored 15 league goals or more in the last nine years.
* Suarez is the second player to score at least 15 goals in La Liga in the first 17 games for his new team. First: Cristiano Ronaldo.
