Luis Suárez seeks payback, Sporting striker remembers the disrespect | OneFootball

Sporting hosts Marseille in the Champions League. The match is of special significance for Luis Suárez - returning to the starting eleven - , who played at the Velodrome in 2022. However, the adventure in France did not go well for the Colombian international, who was labeled a 'flop'.

In the first half of the season, Suárez played 11 games, scored three goals, and started in as many occasions, having little impact on the team. The fans and the press quickly labeled the now Sporting forward as a flop, and the separation did not take long.

In the winter market, Suárez moved to Almería, on loan from Marseille. Despite scoring four goals in 21 games, the Spanish club went on to purchase the striker's pass for 8 million euros, a value 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 participated in all official matches at the start of this season: eight for Liga Portugal, two for the Champions League, one for the Portuguese Cup, and another for the Super Cup. In the 832 minutes he has been on the field, the forward has scored seven goals and provided three assists.

Sporting returns to the field next Wednesday, October 22, against Marseille. The match, counting for the third round of the Champions League, against the team led by Roberto De Zerbi, will be played at the Estádio de Alvalade, at 20:00.
