El Pistolero rubs salt in the wounds

Title hopes in jeopardy

The match against Atletico Madrid was a crucial and must-win game for the Blaugrana, and it looked like things were going according to plan as they took the lead in the first half through Pedri’s phenomenal goal and Barca looked in control of the game. Atletico then stunned them twice first De Paul’s audacious attempt that equalized the score and then a last-minute winner by Sorloth to snatch all 3 points and the lead from the league leaders.

A friendly gesture for one, backstabbing for the other

After the game, a piece of even more disturbing news came out for the Culers. Luis Suarez offered the Atletico players most of who are also his former teammates a free dinner from his restaurant. Several Atletico players posted pictures on their socials thanking the Urugyuan for the warm gesture.

Barca fans however were not too happy about it as Luis Suarez’s comment section got flooded with complaints and remarks of disappointment, some fans went a little ahead and claimed he is no longer a Barca legend after celebrating their loss.

The bitter memories of Lucho

In the September of 2020, something shocking and rather disrespectful happened at Barca, something that the club icon Messi called “Madness”. Luis Suarez was released, more like pushed out of Barca by the club management and Ronald Koeman the then manager of the Catalan Giants.

Suarez had to move to Atletico Madrid and felt betrayed by the club saying he deserved more respect by the management after all that he’s done for the club.

Was this just a friendly gesture or a show of his grudges against Barca, only he knows and maybe should clarify to maintain his status of legend at the club. Fans also should not forget everything the Urugyuan has done for the Barca.
