The two families were close neighbours and went on holiday together, with Suarez even visiting Messi as he neared a move to Manchester City.
Yet less than a month later and it is former Liverpool star Suarez who has left the Nou Camp in a £3.7million move to LaLiga rivals Atletico.
The 33-year-old gave a tearful exit interview on Thursday a day after he was seen crying leaving Barcelona’s training ground for the last time.
But it was his wife Sofia who sobbed after Messi’s other-half Antonela shared an emotional goodbye to the pair.
The 32-year-old wrote: “Bolu, my friend, my sister… thank you for so many years together.
“For so many laughs, so many Mates and unending chats.
“You were like family for us. I can’t tell you how much, so very much, I’m going to miss you and your amazing family.
“Thank you for everything! Let’s hope life keeps giving us moments [to spend] together and I’m sure we’ll see each other again soon!
“I love you, your [family].”All the best with this new step.”
Sofia quickly responded: “And when I thought I had no more tears I found this!
“Thank you for so much of what you said and for all that we have left to live …I love you, I adore you.”
