Suarez opened the scoring with his instinctive 25th-minute strike as Barca recorded an impressive 3-0 victory at Camp Nou, their eighth straight home win in LaLiga.
Lionel Messi, who went on to score a double, drove to the right byline and set up the Uruguay international, who shrugged off Gabriel Mercado before volleying an overhead kick beyond Sergio Rico from close range.
“Being a forward, I always know that when the ball is in the box, you have to hit the target,” Suarez told reporters after the match.
“There was no room to move, but a good striker always knows where the goal is. At that time the ball was in the air and my marker was there, so it [an overhead kick] was my only option. I had no other choice.”
Suarez has now scored six goals in as many LaLiga matches since the start of March and feels Barca are performing impressively going into a decisive stage of the season.
“It was a good performance, typical of a team that is doing well,” he said.
“We were aware that by the international break we had experienced a lot of wear and tear, but we also knew that we will have to play a lot more in this stage of the season.”
