Cassano shocked at Suarez’s Barcelona departure

Former Italy international, Antonio Cassano has revealed he was shocked when Spanish giants, FC Barcelona let go of Uruguayan attacker, Luis Suarez.

Suarez left for Atletico Madrid at the start of the current campaign and Cassano has branded the Blaugrana crazy for sanctioning the move.

Upon appointment as Barcelona coach, Ronald Koeman told Suarez that he was no longer needed at the club, while he was also left off the list of players deemed unsellable by ex-president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
“They said Suarez was old when he left Barcelona,” Cassano told Christian Vieri on Instagram. “Another moment of madness.
“He scored 350 goals in six years. I don’t understand why they kicked him out [the club]. Then they put [Antoine] Greizmann as a centre forward.”

Cassano also turned his attention to Lionel Messi and of course compared his career to that of another legendary Argentine in Diego Maradona.
“He [Messi] has the record for finals played and goals scored with Argentina,” Cassano went on. “With Argentina, he has 70 goals and Maradona 30 goals.
“Messi has always played with great forwards but never with great defenders or goalkeepers.”
