Striker Luis Suarez says playing for Barcelona is the ultimate experience and something he dreamed of as a child.
The Uruguayan, who was signed from Liverpool before the start of this season for a reported €80m, spoke of his teammates at the Camp Nou and his friendship with Lionel Messi and Javier Mascherano.
“For me it’s the ultimate to play for Barcelona,” said Suarez in an interview with Fox Sports.
“When I was young I travelled to Barcelona and was looking in the shops at all the club articles and I still don’t believe it now. It seems unreal.
“My teammates are all alike but it’s true I have more attachment to some than others, although that is because of cultural things.
“I have [traditional South American drink] Mate in the mornings with Messi and Mascherano, but I honestly get along with everyone.”
Suarez also spoke of his football idols when he was a youngster in Uruguay.
“I always admired Enzo Francescoli. I had his shirt with the No 10 on and his boots.
“I liked Gabriel Batistuta too for the way he played the game. He scored goals, helped out and fought for everything.
“He was not as raw as I am and was more technical. I don’t know if we have similar characteristics but I really noticed him.”
