Messi and Suarez: Thick as Thieves on and off the Pitch
What a fucking surprise, ain't it? Messi and Suarez, the dynamic duo, have played a whopping 291 games together at Barcelona and now at Inter Miami. It's like they're joined at the hip, mates for life in the beautiful game.
Footy and Friendship
These lads aren't just teammates, they're practically family. They holiday together, spend time with each other's families, and have a bond that goes beyond the pitch. It's the kind of friendship you'd expect from blokes who've achieved so much together.
The Twilight Years
But let's face it, they ain't getting any younger. Messi and Suarez are 37 and 38 respectively, and the end is nigh for their illustrious careers. But don't write them off just yet, especially Messi with the 2026 World Cup on the horizon.
The Argentinian maestro will be 39 when the tournament kicks off, and it could be his sixth World Cup appearance. That's a fucking record, mate. And let's not forget his rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, who might also be there if Portugal qualifies.
Suarez Speaks Out
Suarez recently spilled the beans to El Pais, confirming that Messi still has the fire in his belly for another World Cup run. But he's not one to pry, saying he won't directly ask Messi about his plans. Fair enough, mate. Some things are best left unsaid.
A Penalty Anecdote
Suarez also shared a story about a recent penalty, where he didn't celebrate with Messi like everyone else. He knows the man well enough to give him space in those moments. It's a sign of their deep understanding and respect for each other, both on and off the field.
Suarez's International Retirement
While Messi might be eyeing another World Cup, Suarez has hung up his international boots. He retired last September as Uruguay's all-time top scorer with 69 goals in 142 games. Not too shabby, eh?
He also sits second in terms of appearances, behind only Diego Godin. Suarez has had a hell of a run, with four World Cups and a Copa America title in 2011, where he was named the best player of the tournament.
Focusing on Inter Miami
Now, Suarez is fully focused on helping Inter Miami win some silverware, alongside his best mate Messi. It's a new challenge for the pair, but with their talent and friendship, you wouldn't bet against them making a splash in the MLS.
