(Reuters) - Barcelona said Luis Suarez had reached the end of his cycle when they let him join Atletico Madrid last summer, yet the Uruguayan continues to show he has plenty to offer while the Catalans' forwards, aside from Lionel Messi, struggle for goals.

Suarez scored for the fifth time in five games to fire Atletico to a 3-1 win over Valencia on Sunday which put them seven points clear at the top of the standings and 10 points ahead of third-placed Barca with a game in hand.
