An amazing scoring of 597 goals in 681 appearances for Barca across all competitions, only one player has done this, Lionel Messi.
His mate Luis Suarez has said that the club would find it hard to recover when Messi finally hangs his boot:
Sometimes I set off running with my head down and the ball just appears there at my feet and I think: how did he put it there? How did he know that I would end up there? Suarez told the Daily Mail.
Or Ill be waiting to receive the ball with my back to goal and there are three players between us and I think: Ill move because hows he going to get it to me here?
And he does get it through only now Im not there. Ive moved because foolishly I doubted he could find me. There are thousands of moments like that.
Suarez added that he is savouring every moment on the pitch with Messi, with his eventual retirement likely to be tough for the game to recover from.
It will be difficult, he added. But the nice thing for all of us is working in football right now is that were here experiencing it and enjoying it.
