The Uruguayan striker was emotional at his goodbye from Barcelona

Finally, the rumours are confirmed. Luis Suarez says goodbye to Barcelona after six seasons, to sign for Atletico Madrid. The Uruguayan had a goodbye event on Thursday at the club, and a news conference.

Suarez started to cry while president Josep Maria Bartomeu was speaking and it was impossible not to feel for him.

"I have nothing prepared, this is improvised and I don't know what to say, it's difficult," said the Uruguayan. "The club believed in me from the start and I will always be grateful for the treatment they had for me. They backed me after an error I committed (biting Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup) and that is not easy."

Suarez added: "A human being, with sentiments, is going, and that's difficult. I only want to remember the good, that my children saw me playing for the best team in the history of football."
