You guys never give enough credit for brilliant finisher Suarez actually is. You Should keep your personal feeling to yourself. Messi actually moved positions at Barca to accommodate him because of his talent
Suarez was out twice with covid and an injury, you don’t take that into account?
Suarez is a generational talent..his legacy is only tainted because of his biting..his stats are incredible at every club he's played at including my team Liverpool..a legend
In 2013, Barça sold Villa to Atletico, he wins the league that season.
Last season, Suarez is sold to Atletico, he wins the league the next season.
Interestingly, for the same fee*
* Not adjusting for inflation.
Do you have to bring up the Bite? No, we have saying that evil brings your sins back, very unprofessional trying to dim Suarez success, you wouldn’t make his goals in his place, not even in your dreams!
Once i started watching and realised they dislike suarez in all angles esp the dude on right, i quickly stopped watching…well he won the league and he is a successful footballer and has had a great career
And he scores the winning goal and title for Atletico…. Thanks Barca for giving up on him
Always singing the 'Suarez and the biting tale' is not the part of constructive criticism. You have been given a big platform to talk about players and their performance, please act with some responsibility and professionalism!!
Useless channel. The panel is very biased.
I’m sorry did he say that sergi Roberto, pique, and ansu fati would get 20 goals all together…I highly doubt that..pique can barley defend and doesn’t have the same physical power and before, sergi roberto for the most part plays as a RB and most of the game he’s getting exposed so no goals there..Ansu Fati can maybe get u 8 goals, because he doesn’t get that much of a start but 20 goals between them is very very hard
Suarez helps Atletico, otherwise Madrid would be on top, not Barcelona. Plus Barcelona didn’t loose out on goals but on defense. Suarez does zero work in defense, so with Suarez Barcelona would finish below Sevilla.
Yes…koeman should regret…the GUY is good…
AupaAtleti
? ???
Can't wait he will join Liverpool fc next season ?
Lets not get it twisted. The only reason Atletico Madrid OR Barcelona had a shot at la liga has been the 61 injuries and 7 plus Covid infection at Real Madrid. Madrid beat all of Barcelona (2x), Atletico Madrid (1 win and 1 draw) and Sevilla (1 win and 1 very controversial draw that could have been another win) this season. Ramos has played less than 40% of RM La Liga games and ditto for Hazard… Other long term absentees have been Carvajal, Mendy…. so yeah…. Good on AM if they win La Liga and they deserve it but we cant overlook the context of this title this season. And about Barcelona…. Ill keep quiet. They are in shambles RT… Just look at their record vs the top 5 teams in la liga and vs top European competition over the last 2-3 seasons.
And btw…still 1 game left and in football anything can happen. I've seen crazier stuff in my lifetime… Man City aguero goal to win epl over united…
BTW, anyone who has seen Uruguay plays knows Suarez didnt have to adapt to SHEITTTTT. Uruguay play basically the same as Atletico Madrid!???!!!!
Barca could have won the league without suarez until last 2 week
KING SUAREZ
Athletico have had lots of ups and downs over the years but they’ve always had a world class no9
Yes, and loaning Bale is why RM is not going to win the league. Teams need a mix of youth and experience.
