"I don't live in the past and I don't hold grudges, but I went through a very bad time when I left Barcelona," said Suarez.
"I felt I still had what it took to play for Barça. I was the top scorer after (Lionel) Messi. I didn't score less than 20-25 goals a season...
"Then Atlético Madrid came along and opened the doors to me. That motivated me. My mission was to show Barcelona that they had made a mistake, and repay Atlético for the faith they had in me.
"And we won La Liga, I value that title a lot."
