Luis Suárez #25

Profile

Not that one. However, the former Granada striker has had an outstanding first season in Portugal and some of Europe’s biggest clubs are looking at him. But this time last year the picture was very different. Yes, he was scoring goals in Spain’s second tier with Almería, but he wasn’t really in the frame for the national team. What’s more, he was coming off the back of an injury that had affected his mental health. “I went through depression, which I’m still coming out of bit by bit with some work and help from psychologists and people close to me. I’d hit rock bottom,” he told Marca. The support of his partner, Carolina, has been key. After scoring almost a goal a game in the Primeira Liga this season, the 28-year-old is now a permanent fixture for Colombia.
