Striker of Barcelona Luis Suarez said he felt "privileged" after scoring four goals against Deportivo La Coruna with whom he surpassed the mark of Brazilian Ronaldo 48 goals in a season for the club.
Uruguay, which reached 49 goals in 48 games this season, inspired the resounding victory by 8-0 against Deportivo, ending a run of four league games without a win and rekindling the commitment of the team win the title League. "I feel privileged and proud to outdo Ronaldo for what he did for the club and world football, is a privilege pass a football genius like him," Suarez said Thursday.
Suarez also gave three assists in the demolition of Deportivo, becoming the first player in league history to be directly involved in seven goals in a game.
Ronaldo scored 48 goals in his first season at Barcelona in 1996-97 and was the second top scorer in the club in a season, although it is far from eclipsing the record set by Lionel Messi , who scored 73 times in the season 2011- 12.
The Uruguayan said it was important to win back the way they did against Deportivo, after Barca suffered three consecutive defeats in the league for the first time since 2003, which allowed the Atletico Madrid will tie on points with them and that Real Madrid is placed only one.
"We are very focused on winning after so many games without a win, we are human and it hurts when you lose, but we got the win and were the better team so we feel more relaxed now , " Suarez said also defended his teammate Neymar who had recently received criticism .
"We are humans, not machines, we have ups and downs and it hurts everyone would have blamed him. When we won all last year nobody said it was for Neymar and it's not their fault now," Suarez said.
On Thursday, Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu presented plans for remodeling the Camp Nou stadium.
The project, designed by a Japanese firm, will increase the stadium capacity of 99,000 to 105,000 spectators and install a roof.
It is scheduled to commence in 2017 and end in 2021, with most of the work carried out for the season to prevent Barcelona's home matches are affected.
"A club like ours need the best stadium, we all win with the new Camp Nou," Bartomeu said.
