Suarez
"In the last year when I played there at Anfield I was so sad for the supporters," he told club media in 2020 after Liverpool finally won their first Premier League title.
"I think one of the best moments of my life I lived in Liverpool [during] this season because I would shoot from 40 yards and I would score!
"I had so much confidence and the supporters, they helped me. I tried my best on the pitch and I miss a lot the support of the Liverpool fans on the pitch."
Suarez added
"I know some Liverpool supporters were angry with me because I celebrated a goal against Liverpool here in Camp Nou and for that I am so sad,"
"I accept that and I say that hopefully they understand my situation: we were playing at home and in the Champions League semi-final
"I lived one of the best moments of my life there and I think the supporters didn't forget how my attitude was in the Liverpool shirt. Now hopefully they are so happy with the Premier League trophy this year.
"This is amazing for the supporters, for the players and for the so many people working inside Liverpool.
"So many people work there and for the last 30 years they didn't know how it felt for Liverpool to win the Premier League.
"They have a really good chance to enjoy this this time and I think they are so happy and they are excited for the moment that Jordan [Henderson] gets the trophy.
"I think they needed this moment, for the Liverpool supporters, for the Liverpool club, for the people, for the Scouse people. I am so happy for them."
