Barcelona striker Luis Suarez was proud of his first hat-trick in victory at Cordoba.

Barca thrashed Cordoba 8-0.

"I'm happy for the goals but especially for the team, which is the most important, because we're the leaders," said Suarez.

"At first I took a bit of time to adapt. But I knew I'd end up scoring goals so, with the support of my friends and family, and knowing that what I had to do was work hard and play as I always have, the goals were going to come."
