Luis Suarez breaks a record previously held by Cristiano Ronaldo

It just adds more insult to injury to his former team FC Barcelona who let him go at a minimal price to such a big rival. It’s still a horrible transfer decision which has no sense and is only coming to haunt them more.

A win on Sunday will put Diego Simeone’s men 10 point’s ahead of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona and moreover they will also be having a game in hand. It’s pretty much easy to say hat Luis Suarez has been pivotal in securing a lot of wins for Atletico Madrid this season and is crucial in the title race for them.

Iago Aspas believes that the Luis Suarez transfer was a big mistake on part of FC Barcelona :

The truth is he was a true forward, a winner even in rondos and training matches. He always gave 200 per cent.

“What you see on the pitch is what he’s like training.

“He’s always been a striker who scores a lot of goals, I think it was a big error on Barcelona’s part, but they were struggling a bit with the wage budget.

“Atletico took advantage, moved quickly and signed a great striker. In fact, many of the points they have won are thanks to him and his finishing.”
