In one of the biggest football matches in the world we will see Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona lock horns on Saturday.
There are a number of talking points ahead of the game, one of them being the return from Suarez from a four month ban for biting Italian Giorgio Chiellini during the 2014 World Cup.
Messi, though, says that is behind him and he is looking forward to playing with Suarez.
"We are excited for Luis to play because he will add his strength to the team," said Messi.
"I'm happy for him because he has spent a long time off the pitch."
Another talking point is that Messi sits just one goal adrift of Telmo Zarra's record of 251 goals in the Spanish top flight and achieving the record against bitter rivals Real would make it all the more special.
The game itself pits the two best players in the world against each other with Messi leading Barcelona and Cristiano Ronaldo the key man for Real.
Ronaldo, though, who has scored 15 goals in seven La Liga matches this season, has played down talk that the match will be decided between himself and Messi.
"It will be a difficult match because Barcelona are playing well," said Ronaldo.
"I'm not going to play against Messi, I'm going to play against Barcelona.
"They are a great team. Real Madrid and Barcelona are playing each other."
