Suarez mocks Barcelona after winning Laliga title with Atletico Madrid

Luis Suarez, former Barcelona striker now Atletico Madrid striker has sent a humiliating message to



his former club Barcelona, after winning the league title with Atletico Madrid, reminding them on how they condemned him before leaving the club.



Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman who forced the move of Suarez after claiming that, the Uruguayan his not in is plan due to old age and that the striker has lost his scoring efficiency.



Atletico Madrid ends Real Madrid faith on the LaLiga title on Saturday evening, after Luis Suarez fired them to a 2-1 comeback win at Real Valladolid, which secured them the Spanish championship for the first time in seven years.


Valladolid took a shocking lead in the 18th minute when Oscar Plano slotted past Jan Oblak to complete a sweeping counterattack after Yannick Carrasco had lost control of the ball following an Atletico corner.


Just as they had done in last week's comeback win over Osasuna, Atletico missed a series of clear opportunities but they drew level after a moment of magic from Angel Correa, who danced his way through the defence before arrowing into the bottom corner in the 57th minute.


Suarez then pounced on a giveaway by the Valladolid defence to score in the 67th and put Atletico on their way to a victory that would secure the title no matter what happened in Real Madrid's game at home to Villarreal.


Valladolid missed a couple of glaring opportunities down the other end while Geoffrey Kondogbia wasted a chance that would have given Atletico a more relaxing finish when he blasted into the side-netting.


Real Madrid ended up fighting their way back from a goal down to beat Villarreal 2-1 which meant they would have swiped the title from Atletico's hands if Valladolid had equalised thanks to a better head-to-head record.


However, Diego Simeone's side saw out the victory and wildly celebrated on the pitch.


"Atletico have had an incredible season despite all the difficulties we've had. We've been the most consistent team and we are champions," said Suarez.


The game was played behind closed doors like all of Atletico's matches this season although several hundred supporters cheered them on from outside the stadium.


Atletico finished top of the standings on 86 points while Real came second on 84. Valladolid finished 19th and were relegated to Spain's second division along with 18th-place Huesca and Eibar, who finished bottom.
