LUIS SUAREZ HAS admitted that he feared he might not be good enough to play for Barcelona.
The Uruguay star moved to Camp Nou from Liverpool in 2014 and was instrumental in helping the Catalan giants win the treble last season after forming a devastating relationship with Lionel Messi and Neymar.
Suarez has improved again this term, scoring 43 goals already as Barca remain on course to make history by retaining the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey trophies.
However, the 29-year-old has since revealed that he originally had doubts about whether he would shine for the Blaugrana.
I dreamed of playing for Barcelona, but even I didn’t believe I was good enough to be Barca’s number nine,” he told Helden TV.
“You always dream of playing with the best and now I’m doing just that, with [Lionel] Messi, Neymar, [Andres] Iniesta, [Sergio] Busquets and so on.”
Such is the quality Suarez oozes alongside Messi and Neymar that many believe this current Barcelona side could be better than the one which dominated under Pep Guardiola between 2008 and 2012.
The ex-Ajax marksman says it is a joy to play alongside the two every week and says their chemistry in attack is purely natural.
“We don’t care about who scores the goals, only about the team doing well,” he added.
We’re all clear about our target, which is to win together. We’re all happy – there is no jealousy between myself, Neymar and Messi.
“Everything comes naturally between us.”

It was always so striking how average he was on tour and how outstanding he was in the ryder cup
@Joe Bloggs: striking? Seems to be his main m at the moment.
@The don: *problem
@Joe Bloggs: He wasn’t average. Pablo Larrazabal was average, Damien McGrane was average. Poulter won as many tournaments as anyone over the last 10-15 years, and contended in majors. Flash tw*t though.
@Armchair Follower: joe couldn’t agree moe, he certainly wasn’t average. He’s won 12 european competitions
Well he’s finally been proven right. He really is at Tiger’s level now.
I’d have more sympathy for him if he was as modest as luke Donald or Paul Casey! Himself and Lee Westwood have a certain arrogance!
He’ll get plenty of invites i’m sure, so plenty of chances to get it back!
He’s always got his Social Media to fall back on :)
Graeme McDowell still plays golf?!
