Barcelona striker Luis Suarez says the Real Madrid defence is the best he’s faced ahead of this weekend’s Clasico.
The La Liga champions visit the Santiago Bernabeu for the first match up of the season between the top two in the league.
Last season, Suarez made his debut in the same fixture following a four-month suspension after his infamous bite on Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini. Luis Enrique’s side lost 3-1 on that day, but got their revenge in the reverse fixture, winning 2-1 with the Uruguayan striker getting on the score sheet.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, the former Liverpool striker said Madrid have the best defence he has face in the league and he expects another tough match.
“It’s the toughest defence I’ve faced. It is very strong, very experienced and very competitive. So I give a lot of value to the goal that I scored against Madrid. I tried to use the space between Sergio Ramos and Pepe and be as fast as possible so as not to give them time. Luckily, it went well,” he commented.
Suarez has filled in for Leo Messi’s goals in the recent weeks and has netted nine goals in 10 games this season so far.
