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 his sprints.

Suarez only had two shots in the entire match, missed one clear scoring chance and did not create or score any goals. Many fans believe 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.

When he moved to Inter Miami in early 2024, Suarez continued to struggle to maintain a high tempo. At 38 years old, the former Barca star's knees could not meet the demands of top 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 big challenge.

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