The ex-Liverpool striker's accomplishment of securing the title of Europe's top scorer, his second overall, was significantly assisted by the supporting roles of Messi and Neymar.

“When I was competing with Cristiano for the golden boot, Messi and Neymar helped me win," Suarez recounted via Managing Barca.

He became the first player since 2009 other than Leo Messi and Ronaldo to win both the Pichichi and the Golden Shoe in a season with 14 of his goals coming in his last five matches, per Sky Sports.

"They made me take penalty kicks and passed me the balls to score. I will always be grateful for that.”
