Looking ahead: Luis Suarez wants to win more silverware next season
GETTY

Luis Suarez is already eyeing up winning more trophies with Barcelona next season following the club's Champions League triumph over Juventus on Saturday.

The Uruguay international handed the Catalan giants a 68th-minute lead in the final at the Olympiastadion in Berlin after Alvaro Morata had restored parity following Ivan Rakitic's early opener.

Neymar's late goal ensured Barca walked away with a 3-1 victory, which helped secure the treble for the Spanish giants - their second after their success in the 2008-09 season.

But despite having tasted success on three fronts this term, Suarez - who joined Barcelona from Liverpool last summer - has admitted there is pressure on the club to follow up this season with more silverware next year.

"[Winning the Champions League] is incredible, something I’ve only ever dreamed of," the striker said after the game.

"To win these tournaments you have to suffer, otherwise you won’t succeed, and [on Saturday] we did that.

"[Juve] equalised after pressing a little more and had chances [to score], but we have players who make the difference, and they put us back ahead.

"We always wanted to better our objectives. La Liga became the Copa del Rey final and now we have the treble.

"Humility and our togetherness throughout the season [is the key to our success]."

When then asked about next season, Suarez added: "There’s always demand [to win trophies]."
