Suarez added to his legacy with this Atletico title. Once he retires I'll remember him more-so for the way he's carried "weaker" teams such as Uruguay, Liverpool and now Atletico (weaker is stretching it for Atleti but ykwim) rather than his success with MSN at Barca. I haven't seen another player consistently perform at an elite level with non-elite teams as Suarez has throughout his career. That is what really makes him special in my eyes.

With this transfer, Atleti are now favorites to retain their title. Man you've got to give credit where its due to the the Atleti board and Simeone. 10 years ago they were in a different galaxy in terms of standing when compared to Real and Barca. Valencia was also definitely considered a more prominent at the time. But today they've solidified their place among Europe's elite and come 2030 they could very well have a greater trophy haul than both Real and Barca.

They will probably lose Saul, though.

Tremendous player, but honestly his level has dropped over the past two seasons. Moving away from Madrid would benefit both Saul and Atleti imo. Atleti get their traditional huge transfer and a new challenge could help Saul refind his former footballing self.

Oh and while we are on the topic of Saul, we should go all out in trying to bring him over to Turin.
