Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas is ready to face Atletico Madrid on Monday night and his former Liverpool teammate Luis Suarez.

The pair shared a season together at Anfield.

Aspas told Marca: "Yes, for one season. The truth is he was a true forward, a winner even in rondos and training matches. He always gave 200%. What you see on the pitch is what he's like training.

"There were six or seven of us there who spoke Spanish or Portuguese and we understood each other quite well. We made our own little community and had dinners and lunches with our families.

"He's always been a striker who scores a lot of goals, I think it was a big error on Barcelona's part, but they were struggling a bit with the wage budget. Atletico took advantage, moved quickly and signed a great striker. In fact, many of the points they have won are thanks to him and his finishing."
