Five years later, Luis Suarez has become the fourth-highest scorer in Barcelona’s history. Looking back to his time with Messi, the Uruguayan International talked about his friendship with him in an exclusive interview.
“Messi has helped me a lot in my personal growth. We had an affinity from the beginning. From coexistence came friendship, and the moments I spent with him also helped on the pitch.”
“Everyone knows that he is the best in the world. He has proven it and continues to prove it day after day. He has shown me his companionship a thousand times. He helped me when I was fighting for the Golden Boot as I was too. The other day, at Eibar, he gave me a goal.”
