What Jordi Alba said about Suarez's sale

"It was a joke. He is someone who gave a lot to Barcelona, and they practically gave him away for nothing, above all to a direct rival in Atletico.

"And look, they went on to win the league with him. I didn't like it. Aside from the friendship we have, where are you going to find a striker like him? "It is difficult to find one. Yes, there are some very good players, but what Luis gave us."
