Barça's Luis Suarez: There will be no friends against Liverpool

Luis Suarez will be reunited with some old friends in the Champions League semifinal when Barcelona face his former side Liverpool. 

The Uruguayan left a huge mark at Anfield and he knows it will be a special tie. However, as the professional that he is, he's told The Daily Mail that there will be no friends on the pitch as he returns to Anfield in the second leg for the first time since 2014.

"I've been lucky to take great memories from all the clubs I have played for," he said. "Playing for my home club Nacional in Uruguay got me a move to Europe. I developed a lot as a player at Ajax and that helped me take the next step into the elite, which was playing for Liverpool. And at Liverpool I was able to consolidate as a player on the world stage.

"Liverpool made me realise that I could keep improving as a player, keep growing, and I'm grateful for all that and for what I shared with my children there too.

“I’m so grateful but I’m there to play for Barcelona, knowing what our targets are. Once we’re playing there’ll be no friendship, no mates, none of those lovely memories. That’s the way I am as a player, everyone knows.”
