If there is a player who can be fondly remembered by the fans of FC Barcelona for what he has done recently with the club, it is Luis Suárez. 'Lucho', who spent six seasons with the azulgrana team (from 14/15 to 19/20), scored 198 goals (3rd highest scorer in the history of Barça) and provided 111 assists in 284 official matches, was the '9' of the team during a glorious era, forming the legendary 'MSN' alongside Leo Messi and Neymar Jr., being the last of the three to leave the Barcelona squad.

An unexpected goodbye due to the circumstances in which it occurred. The Uruguayan left Barcelona in 2020, after not having a place in the sporting project of Ronald Koeman, sending him to Atlético de Madrid for a total of six million euros in variables. An insignificant amount for a Suárez who would later prove that he still had goals to give on European soil, scoring up to 34 goals while wearing the 'colchoneros' jersey.

Now, with time passed, with the 'Pistolero' retired from football in the Old Continent and playing for Inter Miami, he had no qualms about discussing in an interview with Argentine streamer Davoo Xeneize about what his adventure at FC Barcelona was like and how painful it was for him to close it so abruptly. "I don’t live in the past nor do I hold a grudge, but I had a really hard time when I left Barcelona. I felt that I still had what it took to play for Barça. I was the top scorer after Messi. I was scoring no less than 20 or 25 goals per season..." he began to say.

In this vein, Suárez admitted that the opportunity at Atlético de Madrid served as a way to show Barcelona that they were wrong to let him go. "Then Atlético de Madrid came along and opened their doors for me. That motivated me. My mission was to show Barcelona that they were wrong and to repay Atlético for the trust they placed in me. And we won the League; I value that title a lot," he added.

'Lucho' fulfilled a dream by joining FC Barcelona

However, beyond that, 'Lucho' still holds a beautiful memory of his time as a culé, admitting that it was a true dream to wear the azulgrana jersey. "I had always dreamed of playing for Barça... When I signed for Barcelona, it was the realization of a dream,” he recalled.

At the same time, the Uruguayan revealed that Barcelona, in his time, could have been even more successful (13 titles). However, he explained the reason for not achieving better results: "There were matches at Barcelona where we were too overconfident... And it ended badly. We paid dearly for it; we could have won more titles.”

Suárez 'surrendered' to the talent of Pedri and Lamine Yamal

Finally, showing a great connection with what concerns Barcelona fans, he acknowledged his liking for Flick's Barça and emphasized who, in his opinion, are the best players in the Catalan squad. "I love Flick's Barcelona. It has efficiency and a great level... There are two players who make a difference: Pedri and Lamine Yamal. There are also other good players like Raphinha and Lewandowski, but the level of Pedri and Yamal is another world," he concluded.
