Kid calls Luis Suarez the best, prompting him to clarify who the best actually is

Luis Suarez seems to really know his place at Barcelona.

We’re used to seeing new signings obligatorily gush about playing with Lionel Messi and pledge their allegiance to the exceptionally talented forward.

Neymar did it. Suarez did it when he first arrived. It’s Messi’s territory and they don’t want to step on his toes. Otherwise they’ll be out the door.

Incidentally, Messi probably is the best player in the world. But it seems a bit excessive to praise the forward to the point of not being able to accept a compliment.

Suarez was signing footballs for fans in LA when one young kid called him the best. This prompted Suarez to politely correct the child.

Maybe we’re reading a little too much into this little exchange but something about it seems a bit off. Like Suarez is broken by this admission.
