Luis Suarez became the third quickest Barcelona player in history to reach 100 goals last night as they beat Athletic Bilbao to reach the Copa del Rey quarter-finals. The ex-Liverpool striker, in his 120th game for the Catalans, scored the opener as they won 3-1 to go through 4-3 on aggregate. Only Mariano Martin (99 games) and Hungarian striker Laszlo Kubala (103) have done it in fewer matches. It took Lionel Messi – who scored last night’s winner – 188 games to reach 100 goals, although he has been playing for the first team since he was 16.
