Luis Suárez aims to break Gyokeres' record at Sporting: a good challenge | OneFootball

Luis Suárez, who has scored 24 goals in 32 games wearing the lion's jersey, made it clear that he is ready to chase the record of Viktor Gyökeres (54 goals in 52 matches), in 2024/2025. Furthermore, the Colombian international forward emphasized that he feels happy in green and white, reinforcing that the decision to join Sporting - which has a key player in doubt for the match against Nacional -, in the summer, was "intelligent and sensible".

"I never set a limit on what I can achieve, each season I can always improve. I think that makes me a better player. Breaking that goal record is a good challenge, but it's not something that keeps me up at night. I enjoy every game, every goal, every assist. I enjoy the process, just that," explained the forward to the Colombian television channel 'Win Sports'.

After a dream performance, the number 97 hasn't forgotten the epic victory against the European champion: "It was perfect. The MVP award for that game is also very special. I was chasing it, even my wife pressured me, so to speak, to achieve it. As a child, we dream of these kinds of games and imagine ourselves scoring goals. I was lucky to score those two goals, but the team did an incredible job to secure those three points."

Regarding his still short journey at Alvalade, Luis Suárez believes that the decision to join Sporting was the best: "I didn't want to take two or three steps forward and then have to go back. I wanted to continue taking small but secure steps, hence the decision to come here. I think it was a very intelligent and very sensible decision."

The striker remains focused: "I signed a five-year contract, six, almost seven months have already passed. Things are going very well. I am focused on what's coming, an important league game, then the Cup and obviously the next phase of the Champions League. When it's over, we'll see what happens, but as I said, I have a long contract and my family and I are calm. The important thing is the work in football," he emphasized.
