After notching three goals against Real Madrid, the Uruguayan moves onto 159 career goals at Barça and is only behind Messi, Cesar, Kubala and Samitier

The man of the moment in El Clasico, the hat-trick hero himself Luis Suárez, has moved into fifth spot on the list of all-time goalscorers at Barcelona. He's moved above Josep Escola, who scored 158, after notching goals 157, 158 and 159 against Real Madrid.

The striker, who scored the second, third and fourth goals for Barça has reached 159 goals in just four seasons at the Camp Nou.

Although he wasn't able to play during his first few months at the club after being banned by FIFA, Suarez has continued to score a steady flow of goals.

Only four players have scored more for Barcelona than Suarez. They are: Messi (564), Cesar (232), Kubala (194) and Samitier (184).

Suarez has five goals in this season's LaLiga, the same total as Leo Messi. This was his seventh hat-trick for Barça but his first in El Clasico.
