Luis Suárez said the way Barcelona management treated him made him cry before his move to Atlético de Madrid.
The Uruguayan national team star finished a six-year term with Barcelona last September and revealed that he was prohibited from training with the first team before completing the transfer.
The 33-year-old said: “Those were difficult days. I cried because of what I went through. I was very moved by the way they treated me, because one of us should accept it when the end comes.”
Suárez came to Barcelona in 2014 from Liverpool with a contract worth 74 million pounds, and became third in the list of top scorers in the history of the Spanish giant, scoring 198 goals. With the team he won the Spanish League four times and the Cup four times, and also won the European Champions League in 2015.
And in the 2019-2020 season, he scored his weakest tally, which is 21 goals, for not participating in the team’s preparatory matches before the start of the season. He left the team a year before his contract expired.
Suarez added, “a lot of people don’t know what happened, but the worst thing about it is that” you are going to train and they send you to another group of players other than your group, because you are prohibited from participating in training matches.
“My wife realized that I was not happy, and wanted to see me smile again. When Atlético de Madrid’s opportunity came, I didn’t hesitate for a moment.”
Barcelona star Lionel Messi expressed his solidarity with his former teammate and wrote on social media about Suárez: “They fired him.”
Suarez said of Messi’s gesture: “I was not surprised by Messi’s public support, because I know him well. He knows what I suffered, the feeling that I was fired and the extent to which it affected me.”
He added, “The way they treated me was not joint, and Liu knows how it affected my family and me.”
