That Time Luis Suárez Smoked Deportivo On 4/20

In honor of April 20 and its tradition of smoking, Luis Suárez unknowingly contributed to the holiday four years ago. In 2016, Suárez smoked the hell out of Deportivo by scoring four goals and assisting three in one match.

Today, Barcelona tweeted out highlights from the 8-0 thrashing.

Despite having the strike force of Suárez, Lionel Messi and Neymar, the 8-0 result was actually Barcelona's first LaLiga win in over a month. They were also knocked out of the Champions League by Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals, but they'd press on to win both the league (by a single point) and the Copa del Rey.

High score lines in LaLiga aren’t much of a rarity. Real Madrid and Barcelona have put five goals past opponents multiple times this season, and Barcelona’s 8-0 victory isn’t anywhere near the record for biggest LaLiga win. The Catalan giants are actually on the wrong end of the record. During the 1930-31 season, Atheltic Bilbao set the record for largest margin of victory with a 12-1 result against Barcelona.

Bilbao’s leading scorer Bata even outdid Suarez by scoring seven goals in that match.
