mates for their support and claimed he would be
grateful for his whole life after winning the
Champions League on Saturday
Luis Suarez says everything at Barcelona is easier
thanks to the presence of players like Lionel Messi
and Andres Iniesta .
The Uruguay striker struck the second goal for the
Catalan club in their 3-1 win over Juventus in the
Champions League final in Berlin on Saturday, but
heaped praise on his team-mates afterwards.
"I am thankful to Barcelona for signing me after
everything I went through," the former Liverpool
striker said in the mixed zone after the game.
"Also my team-mates for their hard work and their
sacrifice. They have treated me so well since I
arrived and for that I will be grateful for my whole
life."
And he added: "With Messi, with Iniesta and all of
the other players who make the difference, it's
much easier."
Suarez left Liverpool last summer claiming he
wanted to win the Champions League and he has
achieved that goal in his first season at Camp Nou.
"It's a dream," he said. "It's something you think
about and now it has become a reality. I came to
Barca to win titles and I have, so it has been a
great season.
"I said I would be happy with 20 goals and I have
scored 25, so it is all positive."
Having won the treble of Liga, Copa del Rey and
Champions League titles this term, the 28-year-old
now believes Barca can go on to improve next
season.
"We have beaten Manchester City, PSG, Real
Madrid, lots of great teams," he said. "But in this
team you always want to keep growing and we
have the players to be able to do that. We want to
keep getting better."
