Luis Suarez: 'Goals not important'

Luis Suarez: 'Goals not important'

Luis Suarez has insisted that he is not concerned about his own form after drawing a blank against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

The 30-year-old has scored twice in three La Liga matches for Barcelona this season, but has not yet registered in the Champions League.

The striker's form has been questioned in some quarters, but Suarez has insisted that the team's success will always be more important than his goal tally at the end of each season.

"It does not matter that I didn't score," Marca quotes Suarez as saying. "The important aspect was our performance helped to take the three points in a complicated match, we have to adapt to what is happening in the game and the coach knows how to use me."

Barcelona will look to win their seventh straight La Liga game at the start of the 2017-18 campaign when they host Las Palmas on Sunday afternoon.
