Luis Suarez, the king of assists in La Liga
Playing as a centre-forward and scoring a lot of goals, but the Barca star has also shown that he is equally excellent at creating.
The pass to Messi to make it 2-0 in the 3-0 win over Sevilla at the Nou Camp this midweek was Suarez's 11th assist in La Liga 2016-2017.

Thanks to that, he has jumped to the top of the assist list in La Liga this season, with one more assist than the two people behind him, Real Madrid's Toni Kroos and Barca teammate Neymar.
Fourth-placed Pablo Piatti has only set up nine goals for his Espanyol teammates.
Messi is leading the scoring charts with 27 goals, three more than Suarez, but has only made seven successful assists in La Liga this season. Meanwhile, Antoine Griezmann, who plays as a striker similar to Suarez, has only made seven assists.
"The Barca star is often mentioned as a player who does not play too individually, but the way he puts his teammates in favorable positions while having to move, keep the ball and be surrounded by opposing defenders shows that he is the most complete striker, capable of doing everything," Marca, a famous Real Madrid newspaper, commented on Suarez.
