Luis Suárez has had a turbulent summer. At the start of the Champions League, he meets Bayern, of all places, with Atlético.

Not a month has passed since Luis Suárez said goodbye in tears in Barcelona. The Uruguayan played with the Catalans for 6 years, winning the championship and the cup four times, as well as the Champions League with them. With his 195 goals, he is the second best scorer in the club’s history.
In the considerations of new coach Ronald Koeman, the 33-year-old still did not play any role in the summer. After a failed transfer to Juventus in Turin, Atlético seized the Uruguayan, for a relatively cheap 6 million euros.
Dry the tears with the fools
The departure of Barça affected the forward. He felt he was treated unfairly, Suarez said in the wake of his move to the Spanish capital. The tears have now dried. Suárez has found laughter again.
He fought pain with what he does best: scoring goals. In his debut for the Madrid team at the end of September, he scored two goals in a 6-1 victory over Granada. The Uruguayan followed with another against Celta de Vigo last Saturday.
The debacle of the Barça against the Bayern still fresh
Suarez’s eye for goal will also be in demand in the Champions League on Wednesday. At first, the “Atleti” will be a guest no less than at Bayern Munich last year. The Uruguayan is unlikely to remember his last encounter with the record German champions.

By all the rules of the art, Bayern had dumped FC Barcelona in August. With 2: 8 the Spaniards fell in the quarterfinals. The defeat not only cost coach Quique Setien his job, but also Suárez his usual position after the signing of successor Koeman.
The Atlético newcomer is likely to play Bayern from the start. Even more so because Diego Costa is absent due to a muscle injury in his thigh, like Saúl Niguez and José Giménez.
