In the summer of 2020, Luis Suarez was pushed out by FC Barcelona. A complicated moment for the Uruguayan, who was keen to show that he was still one of the best. And that's what he did at Atlético de Madrid.
Arriving on the bench for FC Barcelona in the summer of 2020, Ronald Koeman immediately made some big decisions. And Luis Suarez was notably one of the Dutchman’s victims. Although the Uruguayan was one of Barca's stars and was notably close to Lionel Messi , he was asked to take the exit door. A treatment that has not failed to cause controversy in Spain. But Suarez managed to bounce back well… at Atlético de Madrid. And while the gunslinger has just received his title of best of the last championship, he passed a strong message on the end of his adventure in Barcelona.
“My family suffered”
“My family lived with me these complicated times. I believe they suffered. For me, it was special to want to show that I was still worth it. For me it was a comfort to see them happy, they are everything to me. The Uruguayan has that rebellious DNA, of pride, of wanting to keep showing something when you doubt him. (…) When this opportunity (Atlético) arrived, we started talking with Simone and he told me that I was an injured lion, ”explained Luis Suarez , reported by AS.
