Few players have won titles in Spain with more than one club in the last two decades, but Luis Suárez can count both Barcelona and Atlético Madrid as loved ones in his heart. Suárez sent a gift to his former Atlético teammates after their victory on Saturday night.
Los Colchoneros broke through Barcelona’s defense to take the win at Montjuic, and after the match, captain Koke Resurrección posted a story on his Instagram saying “Thank you, Lucho.” Next to him were José María Giménez, Marcos Llorente, Giovanni Simeone and Robin Le Normand.

Suárez was Atlético’s top scorer in the 2020-21 season, the last time the rojiblancos won the title. The Inter Miami striker sealed the title himself, overcoming the Real Valladolid defense to score the winning goal at the Nuevo José Zorrilla.
