Luis Suárez was asked to comment on Filipe Luis’ decision to post a picture of a wound sustained in a challenge between the two following Barcelona’s 1-1 draw with Atlético Madrid on Wednesday night. Suárez reacted angrily and didn’t hold back in his assessment of Luis’ actions.
Football is a man's game, says Suárez
“This is football,” he said. “It’s a man’s game and what happens on the pitch stays on the pitch. You can’t go around making a circus every time something happens. This is football. I repeat, it’s for men.”
Suárez also spoke about the game and draw. “We know that they’re a tough opponent,” he said. “They’re one of the best defensive teams and we knew that going into the game. We’re left with mixed feelings.
