INFO:
Humberto Suazo is a Chilean footballer who plays as a center-forward. Born in San Antonio, Valparaíso (10/05/1981), he joined Universidad Católica at the age of 16. Due to his unruly behavior, he was loaned to Ñublense in 2000, where he made his professional debut. He then played for Magallanes, San Antonio Unido from his hometown, and San Luis Quillota before joining Audax Italiano in 2004. It was at Audax Italiano where he had his breakout season, earning his first call-up to the Chilean national team. In 2006, upon the request of his former coach at Audax, Claudio Borghi, Suazo joined CSD Colo-Colo. At the Chilean giant, Suazo was the top scorer in the Primera División and also in the Copa Sudamericana that year, earning him a spot in the Ideal Team of America and being crowned by the IFFHS as the world's top scorer of the year, with 51 goals. The following season, he repeated the feat as top scorer in the Primera División, and his outstanding performances led to his transfer to C.F. Monterrey in the Liga MX. His initial months at Monterrey were marked by controversies with fans, teammates, and coaches, and he experienced a decline in his game quality and effectiveness in front of the goal. However, over time, he became a lethal striker and one of the best players in the Americas. In 2008, he was crowned top scorer of the Liga MX, and the following year, he finished as the top scorer in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers. He was again part of the Ideal Team of America, awarded Best Player of the Year in Mexico, and finished second in the South American Footballer of the Year award. Suazo won the Liga MX in 2008 and 2009 with Monterrey before being loaned to Real Zaragoza in Spain's La Liga in January 2010. Despite a slow start and noticeable overweight, Suazo had good performances for the Zaragoza team, attracting interest from S.S. Lazio, Sunderland A.F.C., and Birmingham City, but he returned to C.F. Monterrey in mid-2010. Upon his return, his playing style changed dramatically, becoming a second striker alongside center-forward Aldo De Nigris, without losing any of the goal-scoring ability that made him one of the best forwards in the Americas. In his second spell at Monterrey, he made history by winning the Concacaf Champions League on three consecutive occasions, even being named top scorer and MVP in one of them. On December 30, 2014, after becoming Monterrey's all-time leading scorer and best player, he returned to CSD Colo-Colo, where he had his first world-class season. His recurring injuries led to his departure from the club in 2016, deciding to retire from professional football that same year, leading C.F. Monterrey to retire his number 26. Despite this, Suazo decided to return to professional football in 2017 to play for San Antonio Unido, and in 2020, he returned to play in the Chilean Primera División for Deportes La Serena. Currently, since 2022, 'Chupete' Suazo has played for San Luis de Quillota, the club where he played over 20 years ago, and even at over 42 years old, he continues to score goals in his native country.

Additionally, he has been one of the most important forwards for the Chilean national team, where he played from 2006 to 2013, especially standing out in the qualifiers for the 2010 South Africa World Cup, where he was awarded top scorer (10 goals) and best player of the tournament. He made his official debut for the senior national team on February 9, 2005, against Ecuador, where Chile won 3-0. With the national team, he scored 21 goals in 60 matches, ranking eighth in goals and twenty-first in appearances for La Roja. Suazo is the fourth all-time scorer for Colo-Colo in international tournaments with 19 goals, only surpassed by Francisco Valdés and Ivo Basay, with 20 goals each, and Esteban Paredes with 21 goals. He won three consecutive Concacaf Champions League titles (2010-11, 2011-12, and 2012-13), scoring goals in all three continental finals, a record only surpassed globally by Alfredo Di Stéfano, who with Real Madrid won five consecutive European championships, scoring in all finals. Until the arrival of Rogelio Funes Mori, he was Monterrey's all-time leading scorer overall, and in playoffs, league, and international competitions. Additionally, he is the leading Chilean scorer in the history of international tournaments, with 37 goals, 19 with Colo-Colo, and 18 with Monterrey, surpassing players of the caliber of Marcelo Salas and Eduardo Vargas.
