• Messi pays tribute to Suárez and criticizes Barcelona: “I didn’t deserve to be expelled”

Suárez leaves for Madrid after six years at Barcelona, ​​where he arrived after outstanding seasons at Liverpool. The Uruguayan will continue to compete in the Spanish Championship, a competition in which he scored 147 goals in 191 games with the Barça shirt. At the age of 33, he joins the cast of Diego Simeone already as one of its great stars – and following a tradition of top scorers in recent years, such as Fernando Torres, David Villa, Falcao García, Kun Agüero, Diego Forlán and Diego Costa.

The forward officially said goodbye to Barcelona last Thursday, when the club organized an official ceremony, and the player gave his last interview. Suárez left the Camp Nou in the middle of a process of renewal of distribution under the orders of coach Ronald Koeman, who made it clear to the Uruguayan that he was out of series. And although the player himself avoided the tone of complaint, Messi did not skimp on the club’s criticism in the text published on Friday.

Suárez arrives in Madrid days after Morata’s departure for Juventus, joining Diego Costa as the main goalkeepers. Kalinic is also another center-forward option for Diego Simeone, who still has names like João Félix, Ángel Correa and Carrasco in attack.

The Uruguayan changed clubs after six years at Barcelona. Acquired from Liverpool for € 80 million in 2014, the forward has become one of the main players in the squad of the last decade and one of the club’s recent idols, mainly for winning the Champions League in 2014/15, its first season. At that moment, he marked his step in the MSN attacking trio, alongside Messi and Neymar. He won 13 trophies in Barcelona: one from the Champions League, one from the Club World Cup, four from the Spanish Championship, four from the Copa del Rey and two from the Spanish Super Cup.
