Luis Suarez explained why he felt like a donkey alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar in Barcelona.
The Uruguayan striker joined Camp Nou in the summer of 2014, after a productive period with Liverpool, giant of the Premier League, and immediately joined a team of stars alongside his South American compatriots.
Messi and Neymar were already in the workforce of Barça at that time and formed the legendary “MSN” attack after being joined in Catalonia by Suarez. Together, they had considerable success, winning liga titles and a Champions League.
Luis Suarez remembers his visit to Barça
Suarez played his role, registering 198 goals in total for Barcelona in 283 appearances, but he admits that he did not feel comfortable alongside two emblematic attackers during his beginnings in the jersey number 9 with heavy goods vehicles.
Suarez entrusted the creator of Argentinian content Davoo Xeneize:
“At the beginning, we were three players with different characteristics, with the donkey, me, in the middle. I said to myself:
“” Where do I place myself so as not to hinder? »»
“Of course, I looked at my side and I saw Leo. On the other side, I saw Neymar. Behind, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets. I learned to move in my space, in my rectangle. In truth, we understood ourselves in an admirable way. »»
Suarez left Barcelona to everyone's surprise in 2020. He has since found Messi at Inter Miami, MLS, and the two men are targeting new major titles in 2025, which could be the last season of Suarez at 38 years old.
