The Uruguayan, who has starred alongside Messi this season, has given his view on the long-standing Messi vs Ronaldo debate, and for him there is only one winner.
"Messi is natural, it is his character," Suarez told Algerian publication Le Buteur.
"He is the best in the world, but he was born with his qualities.
"Ronaldo has progressed and worked a lot to perform how he does. He's not at the same level he was when he started.
"I think Leo is the best."
Suarez also credited his former club Liverpool for the instrumental part it played in his development.
"With everything that I learned technically and tactically... I would say Liverpool gave me everything, it's an extraordinary club," he added.
"In England every game is important and the fans are formidable. At Barcelona it's a bit different. I try to enjoy myself and to win every time I set foot on the pitch."
