“We All Dreamed of Retiring [at Barcelona]” – Luis Suarez on Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets & Jordi Alba as Teammates at Inter Miami

The moment we’ve all held our breath for has come. Luis Suarez finally touched down in Florida to connect with his new club, Inter Miami. Beyond the first training session and the buzz surrounding his arrival, the Uruguayan international unexpectedly peeled back the layers over his FC Barcelona exit alongside Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, despite ‘winning everything.’

As the buzz surrounding Suarez continues to grow among US fans, El Pistolero spoke his first words on his new beginning. Interestingly, talk regarding his ex-La Liga and new MLS teammates came up, and the striker made an unexpected revelation about the quartet’s ambition to stay at Camp Nou. He said, “In 2018-2019, we were winning everything in Barcelona and we all dreamed of retiring there, but I left first and then they left after me.” Suarez’s departure perhaps prompted Lionel Messi and the others to contemplate their futures too.

Notably, Lionel Messi left the club in 2021 after the Uruguayan striker, with Busquets and Alba following the trend in 2023. Either way, it’s sad to see that all four stars could not fulfill their dream of hanging up their boots in Blaugrana. But it seems fate was always to see the quartet retire together, now that they again don the same crest. With that serial winning experience, they can turn Inter Miami into a dominating force this season!

Doing this successfully will also etch their names in the history books of the Herons and retire together joyfully and with pride. In fact, with the reunion of Suarez and Lionel Messi, Inter Miami is widely claimed to be on track to win everything! What does the chatter around and about the club currently look like?

In an exclusive conversation with EssentiallySports, renowned Spanish journalist Nahuel Beau shared his thoughts on the impact of Luis Suarez teaming up with Lionel Messi, Alba, and Busquets in the USA. “In my opinion, with them, Inter Miami is going to be a sure favorite to win all the titles. Because, if there is something that Luis Suarez shows is that competitiveness always,” he said.
