Luis Suarez played his second match for Atletico Madrid against Huesca, but it was his first start. The Uruguayan didn't take long to earn Diego Simeone's confidence with his spectacular debut against Granada. The No 9 scored twice and Cholo put him in the side.

He plays up front with Joao Felix, while Diego Costa drops out of the starting line up. Suarez joined for only 6 million euros in variables, which depend on his and Atletico's performances this season. He put pen to paper on a two year deal.
