InterMiami forward Luis Suárez has provided insight into what irks his teammate and close friend Lionel Messi during matches. The two football stars, reunited in the off-season, are gearing up for a significant season together in the MLS.
Suarez and Messi previously played together at Barcelona, where they formed a formidable partnership for six years. Their bond, both on and off the field, has remained strong, with the duo being two-thirds of the iconic MSN trio.
In recent times, Messi has occasionally been portrayed as a somewhat controversial figure due to his expressive nature, especially evident in moments like the 2022 FIFA World Cup quarter-final against the Netherlands.
During an appearance on the La Mesa podcast, Suarez shared insights into Messi’s personality, revealing that the Argentine captain is competitive and reacts strongly to losses, whether in football or other activities.
Suarez highlighted that Messi doesn’t take kindly to opponents trying to provoke him and never shies away from a challenge.
“He doesn’t like losing in anything, be it football or even in other games like tennis. If you bother him, he gets angry. But then, be prepared, because he always comes back strong.”
Suarez and Messi’s partnership was reignited when the former Uruguayan international joined Inter Miami from Gremio. Their chemistry was evident in pre-season, with both players scoring a goal each in a 4-3 defeat to Al-Hilal, offering a glimpse of what they can achieve together.
