Luis Suárez knows Marseille well. The Colombian international has already played for the French club, in 2022, but did not leave fond memories at the Velodrome. After half a season with the French side, the Sporting striker - who will return to the starting eleven - was labeled a ‘flop’ and is now seeking revenge.

In the first half of the season, Suárez played 11 matches, scored three goals, and started just as many times, having little impact on the team. The fans and the press quickly branded the now Sporting striker as a flop, and the split did not take long.

In the winter transfer window, Suárez moved to Almería on loan from Marseille. Despite scoring four goals in 21 matches, the Spanish club went on to buy the striker’s rights for 8 million euros, a fee that had been agreed upon at the time of the loan.

This season, wearing the green and white stripes, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has played 12 matches. The Sporting player has featured in every official match at the start of this season: eight in Liga Portugal, two in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In his 832 minutes on the pitch, the striker has scored seven goals and provided three assists.

Sporting will be back in action next Wednesday, October 22, against Marseille. The match, part of the third round of the Champions League, against the team led by Roberto De Zerbi, will be played at the Estádio de Alvalade at 8:00 p.m.
