The definition of the Brasileirao was like a movie. While Palmeiras became champion and the relegation had a shocking end: Santos went down to second for the first time in its history and Ramón Díaz’s Vasco da Gama was saved with an agonizing victory. In turn, Luis Suárez had a great farewell to him in Gremio, which defeated Fluminense 3-2 at the Maracaná stadium and prepared his departure for Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami.
The Uruguayan scored two great goals, one from a penalty kick once morest Fábio. The match started uphill, since Jhon Arias’ penalty put Flu ahead in the 34th minute. Before the end of the first half, Lucho appeared to tie following a memorable run, elude the goalkeeper and finish with the goal at his mercy. Not satisfied with that, the Porto Alegre team turned it around in the 45th minute with a goal from Everton, which ended with a fight between Luis Suárez and Felipe Melo that almost did not escalate.
In the second half, Pistolero took charge of the penalty and made it 3-1 at 19′ with a resource that reminded him of his friend and compatriot, Loco Abreu. Although with nine minutes left John Kennedy scored for the local team, the victory went to Gremio, which finished second to the champion Palmeiras (70), just two points behind.
Luis Suárez leaves Gremio with truly impressive numbers. In total, the Gunslinger played 53 games, scored 26 goals and provided 17 assists. Now, at 37 years old, all his paths lead him to the MLS of the United States. There he would sign as a “Franchise Player” or “Designated Player”, it has not yet been defined, for one year with the option of another year in his friend Lionel Messi’s team, Inter Miami, and reconnect with other former teammates in Barcelona such as Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
“The pain I feel every day is a lot, it is my body that speaks. I have to think regarding Suárez being a human being,” she acknowledged days ago. And he also confessed the problems he suffers from with his knees. “If I don’t take three pills and inject myself before games, I can’t play. That’s why the limp. Now I can tolerate this osteoarthritis, but I have to think that in five years I may not be able to play 5-a-side football with my friends. The truth is that the first steps in the morning are very painful. Anyone who sees me thinks it’s impossible for me to play a game. “My son asks me to play with him and I can’t.”

He also spoke regarding his future: “I have a very long career, I have earned the right to decide and say enough is enough, I want to enjoy where I play and my children, who have had few vacations recently and stayed with me supporting me. My desire today is to live day to day and enjoy what I am experiencing. If I go to a club it is to win, otherwise I would retire. “I am hard-headed and I want to continue enjoying playing football, which is what I like the most.”
Inter Miami plans to return to practice on January 10, 2024. With Lionel Messi at the helm, on Friday, January 19, they will play their first friendly once morest the El Salvador National Team at the Cuscatlán Stadium in San Salvador. “I need to rest, enjoy my family and destiny will know where I will go in the future,” concluded Lucho, who did not confirm, but neither did he deny, that his new destination is Major League Soccer.
