WATCH: Barcelona ace Luis Suarez proud of 'best goal of my career'

Barcelona ace Luis Suarez says his wonder goal against Real Mallorca was the best of his career.

The Uruguayan striker bounced the ball past Manolo Reina with a backheel to score Barcelona's fourth goal of the night before half time.

After the 5-2 triumph, Suarez said: "It's the best goal of my career.

"I knew that it was a tight angle and the last option I had was to hit it with my heel.

"I was looking to bounce it because I had very little chance against the goalkeeper.

"[Ernesto] Valverde tells me that sometimes I miss the easiest ones and score the most difficult ones."

Barcelona were at their best during the 5-2 win, putting on a display of fine offensive football for the Camp Nou crowd.

"This shows the confidence we're gaining as the matches go by," Suarez said.

"We've been looking for our teammates more and it was a great match today."
