Barcelona defender Gerard Pique believes that the club's £75m signing of Luis Suarez has been good value for money.

The forward has scored 24 goals in 42 appearances this season, and is set to start in the Champions League final against Juventus tonight.

"From the defensive part I think he pressures a lot, and it helps us to put the defensive line up, so It's easy for us to pressure," he told Sky Sports News.

"And from the offensive part, he's just a goalscorer. He scores for fun – headers, right foot, left foot, in any kind of position.

"I think it was a really good signing, even though it was really expensive – I always tell him he's really expensive! But this year he's shown that it's good enough for us."

Suarez has scored six goals in nine appearances in the Champions League this season.
