Barcelona legend Lionel Messi has savaged his club for what he feels is their disgraceful treatment of his best friend Luis Suarez after the striker completed his £5.5m move to Atletico Madrid.
And in a highly emotional post put out on Instagram, Messi admitted ‘nothing surprises me anymore’.
“I was already getting the idea but today I entered the locker room and the news became real.
“How difficult it is going to be not to continue sharing the day to day with you, both on the pitch and outside.
“We will miss them so much. It was many years, many lunches, dinners… many things that will never be forgotten, every day together.
“It will be strange to see you with another shirt and much more to face you.
“You deserved to be praised for what you are: one of the most important players in the club’s history, achieving important things both as a group and individually.
“And not to get kicked out like they did. But the truth is that at this point nothing surprises me.
“I wish you all the best in this new challenge. I love you very much, I love you very much. See you soon friend.”
In his last press conference at Barcelona, Suarez broke down in tears and revealed how he was told to ‘watch out’ for Lionel Messi when he joined the Catalans.
Suarez added: “Many people tell you about Messi when you arrive at Barca.
“They say, ‘watch out for Leo’, he’s another striker. [But] many things are invented.”
