Luis Suarez reveals his all-time 5-team dream pick

 Inter Miami continues to benefit from a strong version of Luis Suárez. He shined during the 2024 MLS season alongside Lionel Messi. The Uruguayan striker revealed his all-time five-player dream team. However, he made a bold decision by leaving out a historic former teammate.

Over time, Luis Suarez has dealt with injuries that cost him the speed that once defined his game. However, he has adapted his style to remain a top performer at Inter Miami. At 38 years old, he continues to showcase his incredible goal-scoring ability. In the 2024 MLS season, he and Lionel Messi lead their team in goals. Suarez recently revealed his all-time five-player dream team. However, his selection left out a historic former teammate.

Luis Suarez participated in a dynamic with the MLS Instagram official account. He had to pick his 5-team dream. He left clear that he never forgets his roots or his past. When selecting his all-time five-player dream team, he included two Uruguayan national teammates: Fernando Muslera and Diego Godin. He also reflected on his Barcelona years, naming Andres Iniesta, Neymar, and Lionel Messi.

However, he also acknowledged a historic midfielder who played a key role in his career. That player is the English midfielder Steven Gerrard. Although Suarez did not include him in his five-player dream team, he made sure to mention him: “I left Gerrard out, but it was difficult”.

The historic midfielder Steven Gerrard was very important for Luis Suarez at Liverpool. Even when Gerrard retired Suarez gave him some emotional words: “…As the weeks went by Steven showed me the leader that he is. How winning and ambitious he was on the field, but also a close and constant companion. Someone who supported me, always, and who taught me how to bring out the best in me…,” stated Luis Suarez on Instagram.

However, for the midfield, he chose Spanish legend Andres Iniesta, his teammate in 145 matches. Suarez’s tenure at FC Barcelona elevated him to legendary status. His impact was not limited to the club but extended to world soccer. At Barcelona, he scored 195 goals and provided 113 assists. It was the club where he shined the most, both in performance and statistics. His five-player dream team clearly reflects the influence of his time with the Catalan team.
