The Atlético de Madrid striker has once again referred to his departure from FC Barcelona in 2020, after being left out of the Dutch coach's plans for two seasons.

Luis Suárez lived a traumatic episode when he left FC Barcelona. Regardless of whether he was one of the club's historic scorers with 198 goals, Ronald Koeman warned him that it was not in his plans. The Dutch coach did not tell him face-to-face but on a cell phone. And as if that were not enough, the coach tried to back down by conditioning the continuity of the Atlético de Madrid forward today to the termination of his contract. Hurt, ‘Lucho’ has remembered this bad moment.

After having marked Barcelona in the victory of the Colchoneros, in the Wanda Metropolitano, Suárez once again showed that he has not forgiven Koeman for how he kicked him out of the Camp Nou. The one from Salto came to tears.

“I think I didn't deserve the way I left Barcelona, because if you have so much authority, you take me head-on, hand-in-hand, you explain everything to me and then you don't tell me that if my contract termination doesn't close on Wednesday, they are going to count on me for the Villarreal game”, said the Uruguayan.

“They sent me to train in field three, which is separate. They are things that one does not forget”, added on how were his last days in Barcelona. “Seeing what is happening hurts as Culé that I am, because I took a lot of affection for the club, it gave me everything. He trusted me at a difficult time in my career. It hurts for the friends that I have there, for the friendships, for the people who work inside on a day-to-day basis, it hurts to see it like this”, he concluded.
