Suarez told Marca in an interview that he and
are talking about life and their families rather than Athletico Madrid versus Barcelona – their first match as opponents since the Uruguayan joined Diego simeone’s team.

“The truth is that we speak a lot, but honestly we talk about our life.
it was recently the birthday of one of my children, also his. We talked about life, the virus, everything, but very little about football, about the goals we miss or about tactical
systems,” Suarez told Marca.

“We worry more about how the family is than about what happens in football.”

Suarez is currently Atletico Madrid’s joint top scorer alongside Joao Felix with five goals from six
matches, and indication that he is enjoying his career again, this time under Diego Simeone.

Suarez added: “I was sad and hurt by the way I left [Barcelona] – I already said it. But when they close a door, five more open to you where they value my work, professionalism and
trajectory. I feel proud.

“Where they did not want me, there was another that wanted me. I found happiness and I’m ernjoying this moment now.”

Going into Saturday’s match, Atletico are third in the Laliga Santander table – three points behind surprise leaders Real Sociedad, and one behind second-placed Villarreal, yet with two games in hand. Barcelona are eighth on 11 points from seven games, also with two matches outstanding.
