Atletico Madrid ace Luis Suarez admits he still follows the results of former club Barcelona closely.

Barca, after their 6-1 win at Real Sociedad, are now four points behind LaLiga leaders Atletico.

On the Barca win, Suarez said on a Twitch stream: "Yes, a great game, it was spectacular. When a team is in positive dynamics and has the best in the world, it shows. When you see that the rival suffers everywhere on the pitch, you realise that they were going to win. When you admire football, you see that game, how they have fun...

"Yes (I follow Barca), because I like to watch football and I have friends there. I have admiration for the team I defended and I will be grateful. I talk to Messi almost daily, but we talk about many things and sometimes about matches, but also about personal things."
