Suárez appeared for the last time as a Barcelona player during a press conference that the club held to bid farewell to the third top scorer in the club’s history.
Suarez said at the press conference: “It is a surprise. I no longer had anything prepared. The club has trusted me a lot since 2014 after signing with me, and the club has trusted me knowing the circumstances after I made a mistake.” .
Suárez came to Barcelona despite being suspended from the international federation “FIFA” after “biting” Giorgio Chiellini, Italy’s defender at the 2014 World Cup, to start his career with the Blaugrana in October.
“It was not easy to accept that, the coaches and my teammates, the way they met me when I arrived, it was incredible, everyone knows the sacrifice I made to move to Barcelona and play with the best team in the world. I realize that we are here. at the end of an era, but I must be very proud. With everything we did. “
“The club needs changes and the coach has not counted on me. I want to make it clear that I can still perform at a high level.”
“I am joining Atlético de Madrid with great enthusiasm, but I haven’t even thought about what it would be like to play against Barcelona. I still haven’t fully understood it.”
“Messi knows what I think and I know what he thinks. We are old enough to advise us. Leo felt strange because he was going to a direct competitor, but nothing would change our relationship.”
“But when Barcelona put me in the transfer market, there were many calls and offers. I wanted to join a team where I can compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid,” he said.
Suárez, 33, has played for Barcelona since 2014, after moving to Barcelona from Liverpool for 82 million euros.
Suárez is Barcelona’s third all-time scorer with 198 goals in 283 games, and also scored 109 goals during the same period.
However, with the arrival of Barcelona’s new coach, Ronald Koeman, Suárez was told to suspend his services.
