The suspension is now over, and the countdown to Luis Suarez's Barcelona debut against Real Madrid in tomorrow evening's El Clasico at the Bernabeu is in full swing.
"We are all really looking forward to the arrival of Luis," the mercurial Messi said. "He will bring a lot of strength to the team. He is a forward who scores a lot of goals. I am happy as he has spent a lot of time without getting onto the pitch."
Neymar, meanwhile, the Brazilian striker, added last week: "Messi is the best in the world and Luis Suarez is a top player. "I think we're going to do great things together for this club."
The match kicks off in the Spanish capital on Saturday at 5pm.
