Barcelona defender, Jordi Alba has come out to say that his club selling Luis Suarez to Atletico Madrid was a joke. He recently revealed that he is happy with how the Uruguayan shut a lot of mouths at Wanda Metropolitano.
According to him, he always knew Barca was wrong to sell Suarez for such a low fee, and he is pleased with how the striker proved him right.
He added that Suarez is someone who gave his all to Barcelona when he was a teammate, and he is surely irreplaceable.
His words, “It was a joke.”
“He is someone who gave a lot to Barcelona, and they practically gave him away for nothing, above all to a direct rival in Atletico.”
“And look, they went on to win the league with him. I didn’t like it. Aside from the friendship we have, where are you going to find a striker like him?”
“It is difficult to find one. Yes, there are some very good players, but what Luis gave us…”
“He won the league and shut a lot of mouths. His last year wasn’t easy at Barca, and he has had the chance to shut some people up.”
“I can tell you that the atmosphere [at Barca] with Luis was spectacular. He is a guy that works hard, that was great for the group, and the numbers speak for themselves.”
“He is the third-highest goalscorer in Barca’s history.”
