Suarez breaks Ronaldo's goal record for Barcelona

The Uruguayan is now on 49 goals for the season, while the legendary Brazilian struck 47 times in all competitions in the 1996-97 campaign

Luis Suarez has overtaken Ronaldo by reaching 49 goals for the season inBarcelona’s 8-0 victory over Deportivo La Coruna.

The Uruguayan scored four and assisted three as Barcelona recovered from their recent run of three straight defeats.

Suarez set a new La Liga record by becoming the first player to have a hand in seven goals in a single game, and the former Liverpool striker has also now surpassed one of Barca’s greats.

Ronaldo scored 47 goals in all competitions for Barca during the 1996-97 campaign but Suarez now stands on 49 goals in the current season - and he still has five games to go.

Suarez still has some way to go to overtake Lionel Messi, who holds the record for Barcelona after scoring 73 goals in the 2011–12 season.

Ronaldo's double helped Madrid negotiate a difficult test against Athletic at the Santiago Bernabeu, which saw the visitors cancel out his early opener through Javier Eraso before Aritz Aduriz rattled the crossbar. James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos scored to make it 3-1 before Raphael Varane's second yellow card, while Ronaldo and Gorka Elustondo were on target in the final stages of an entertaining contest.  'Ancelotti the best coach I've worked with' Ronaldo has often been used centrally at Madrid over the past year but Zidane believes his side were always likely to cause problems with him out wide. "We went looking for that because Cri...
