Luis Suarez didn’t take long Wednesday to ensure he’ll dominate soccer highlights for at least the next few days.
The FC Barcelona striker scored a stunning goal early in the Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup) semifinal game against Atletico Madrid. Javier Mascherano disrupted Atletico Madrid’s attack near the halfway line. Suarez collected the loose ball and did the rest himself.

Suarez demonstrated some of his best qualities on the goal, namely speed, power, strength and composure. It’s now surprise he’s in red-hot form.

Suarez’s goal put Barcelona up 1-0 in the sixth minute.
The goal was his 22nd of the season in 30 games in all competition.
It also might have been his finest-ever strike in his illustrious career with FC Barcelona.
