Suarez is criticized as out of date

Messi scores a masterpiece at the FIFA Club World Cup. Early morning on June 20, Messi shined to help Inter Miami defeat Porto 2-1 at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.

Despite the home team's victory, Luis Suarez still caused controversy with his seemingly overweight physique and sluggish running. AS said the Inter Miami player even had difficulty maintaining sprints.

Suarez only had 2 shots in the whole match, missed a clear scoring chance and did not create any assists or goals. Many fans think Suarez should retire early. "Suarez is too heavy and slow, he cannot play at the top level anymore," said a fan named Romeo.

According to ESPN , the Uruguayan striker has faced knee problems throughout his career, especially since joining Gremio in Brazil in 2023. In an interview in November 2023, he admitted that the tight and high-intensity match schedule had aggravated the injury.

Suarez continued to struggle to maintain a high tempo when he moved to Inter Miami in early 2024. At 38 years old, the former Barca star's knees could not cope with the demands of top-level football, especially when Inter Miami faced strong opponents.

Sports experts from AS said Suarez's problem could be related to osteoarthritis in the knee, a common condition in older players after years of high-intensity competition. Although he still retains his finishing skills and tactical thinking, sprinting quickly and sustaining is becoming a major challenge.

Suarez’s diminished sprinting ability has significantly affected his style of play, which relies on explosiveness and off-the-ball movement – traits that have helped him shine at Barcelona and Liverpool. In the 2025 MLS season, Suarez has scored just five goals in 13 games.
