Liverpool vs Barcelona: Luis Suarez expects warm Anfield welcome and promises not to celebrate if he scores
Luis Suarez has vowed not to celebrate if he scores against Liverpool on Tuesday and believes a warm welcome awaits at Anfield.The Barcelona striker scored 82 goals in 133 matches during his three-and-a-half-year stay on Merseyside, where he was loved by Reds fans and generally detested by all opposition supporters.3

Suarez speaks to the media

Much of that was of his own making, having been banned for eight matches after being found guilty of racially abusing Manchester United’s Patrice Evra and then 10 matches for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.Suarez bit the hand that used to feed him after scoring the opening goal in the Champions League semi-final first-leg 3-0 win at the Nou Camp last week but he believes the reception he will receive on his return will be positive.Suarez was, somewhat harshly, criticised for celebrating wildly when he scored the opening goal last week. He will not be repeating those scenes should he find the net at Anfield.“Celebrating the goal last week, people who know about football, who love this sport, know about the importance of this,” he said.“I have all the respect in the world for the Liverpool fans. Because I scored and celebrated with my fans, I say sorry.“Obviously it is clear that if I score a goal against Liverpool I won’t celebrate it in the same way.”3

Suarez netted the opener against his former club in the first leg

Suarez admits he owes a debt to Liverpool and thanks the club for making him the player he is today.“It is special after enjoying a number of good years here and I am grateful to Liverpool for my time here and how they received me as player,” said the Uruguay international.“I will always be thankful for that and the heritage of the club. It is going to be very special to come back here this time wearing a different shirt but I have lovely memories of my time here and my career at Liverpool.“It helped me in so many ways, it helped me become more technical. When I came from Ajax I did improve but having players with great experience allowed me to be even better.3

Suarez was once adored by Liverpool fans

“Being captain of Liverpool was one of the proudest moments of my career. It is something I won’t forget. Playing in the elite with Barcelona was because of Liverpool and what they made me.”Suarez is convinced fans will remember his record at Liverpool and respect him accordingly.“I was here for three-and-a-half years and the team had been four or five years without being in the Champions League. In the last year I was here we got in the Champions League,” added the 32-year-old, who revealed canteen staff at Liverpool’s Melwood training ground had given him presents for his three children.“So I think people know the work I did here. I think there will be more applause than whistles. There may be quite a few who are not happy but I think there will be more who are happy and grateful.”
