Luis Suárez devastated after Switzerland knock out Colombia: a sad day | OneFootball

Luis Suárez bowed out of the World Cup on a bitter note. The Sporting striker started in Colombia’s elimination against Switzerland, who went through after winning the penalty shootout following a goalless draw after 120 minutes.

At the end of the match, the Lions’ Colombian international did not hide his disappointment with the outcome. "Unfortunately, the penalties did not go our way," said the forward, who was making the first World Cup appearance of his career.

Luis Suárez also admitted that the Colombian national team believed it was capable of going further in the competition. "It really is a sad day. I think this team, this national side, this country was destined to achieve greater things," he lamented.

Despite finishing the tournament without scoring a single goal, the striker now returns to Sporting to enjoy a short holiday before joining Rui Borges’ squad ahead of the start of the new season.

In 2025/26, wearing the Sporting shirt, Luis Suárez – valued at €30 million – featured in 53 matches: 32 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 12 in the Champions League, seven in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup.
