Having met with Lionel Messi<\/a> and Andres Iniesta on Friday and Sunday respectively, Icons rounded off a fantastic weekend of signings by spending Monday morning with fellow FC Barcelona<\/a> superstar Luis Suarez<\/a> at the club\u2019s training ground, La Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.
\n\"FCB-2\"<\/p>\n

The Icons<\/a> team arrived shortly before the players\u2019 first session of the day and were greeted by flashing cameras as eager fans tried to snap a photo of their heroes going to work.<\/p>\n

Setting ourselves up in a private room within the impressive facilities, Icons<\/a> eagerly awaited an in-form Luis<\/a>, who arrived ten minutes later, wearing Barca\u2019s<\/a> blue and yellow\u00a0training kit and a cheeky smile on his face.\"FCB\"<\/p>\n

Although the signing was brief, we still found time to chat to Luis<\/a> about La Blaugrana\u2019s<\/a> title hopes and the team\u2019s upcoming trip to Japan for this year\u2019s FIFA Club World Cup. Having expressed his excitement for the rest of the season, Luis<\/a> also revealed the statue of himself that is to be erected in his hometown of Salto in Uruguay<\/a> would be ready in March.<\/p>\n

Signing a host of products including the 2015-16 Barcelona home shirt<\/a>, Luis<\/a> also added his signature to a photo already signed by Lionel Messi<\/a> and Neymar Jr<\/a>. The excellent photo shows \u201cThe Three Amigos\u201d celebrating their famous UEFA Champions League<\/a> triumph in Berlin last season.\"Luis-Suarez-Icons-Signing-Photos\"<\/p>\n

It was a remarkable season that saw the Uruguay<\/a>, Argentina<\/a> and Brazil<\/a> forwards score a staggering 122 goals, as Luis<\/a> and Neymar<\/a> both scored in the showpiece final against Juventus<\/a> to securea historic treble. The photo is available in our Official UEFA Champions League<\/a> framing style and with just ten of these items in the world; it\u2019s a product that is not to be missed.<\/p>\n

It seems that almost as soon as Luis<\/a> is with us, he\u2019s whisked away again, back to training before a litany of media appearances on a busy day as Barcelona<\/a> prepare for\u00a0Wednesday\u2019s Copa Del Rey clash with Segunda side Villanovense. \"Luis-Suarez-Icons-Signing-Photos\"<\/p>\n

With that Icons<\/a>\u2019 long weekend away with the Catalan club\u2019s<\/a> superstars is over. Flying home in high spirits, the team is ready and raring to dispatch orders from our massive Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
