Luis Suarez vs. Valencia: Highlights, Reaction to Striker's 4-Goal Performance

Christopher SimpsonFeb 3, 2016

Luis Suarez was at his rampant best on Wednesday as he bagged four of Barcelona's seven goals against visitors Valencia at the Camp Nou.

Lionel Messi also netted a hat-trick in the 7-0 victory as Barca took full control of the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final with Los Che, per SportsCenter:

The Uruguayan took just seven minutes to find the back of the net, firing home after being picked out well by Neymar, per thecypriotafc:

Suarez doubled his tally five minutes later following some neat play from Sergio Busquets and Aleix Vidal, per Barcaholic:

As the club revealed on Twitter, Suarez merely finished off an outstanding team move:

After setting up Messi's first and second, Suarez grabbed his hat-trick shortly after the Argentinian had his as he headed home a lovely cross from Adriano at the far post, per Barcaholic:

With two minutes of normal time remaining, the striker had his fourth when he lashed home a low effort from Arda Turan's pass forward, per SBOBET:

He and partner-in-crime Messi took home a match ball each for their efforts, per Barca's official Twitter feed:

Squawka Football highlighted Suarez's stunning form this season:

Football journalist Rafael Hernandez hailed the forward's play beyond just his four strikes, and with Gary Neville being the Valencia boss, he noted a recurring theme with Suarez:

Spanish football blogger Sergi Dominguez believes the 29-year-old has been so good, it's difficult to pick between him and Neymar as to who is second to Messi:

La Liga writer Andrew Gaffney also heaped considerable praise on him:

Suarez showed great humility after the match, though, per La Liga's official Twitter feed:

The striker is continuing to go from strength to strength alongside Messi and Neymar, and the trio undoubtedly comprise the best forward line in the world.

With all three in such incredible form, a year as successful as 2015—in which they won five out of a possible six trophies—could easily be on the cards.

The Blaugrana are virtually guaranteed passage to the Copa del Rey final now, and if Suarez and his team-mates play as they did on Wednesday, it's difficult to see Sevilla or Celta Vigo stopping them from lifting at least that trophy.
