Suarez spent three-and-a-half years at Anfield before making a controversial move to Barcelona in 2014. He has since gone on to win four La Liga titles and a Champions League crown with the Catalan giants. About his celebration, Suarez opened the scoring in the 27th minute with a brilliant finish past Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker. He then sprinted to the corner flag and slid on his knees, pumping his fists in front of the delirious Camp Nou crowd.

As he rose to his feet, Suarez turned toward the Liverpool supporters behind that goal and cupped his hand to his ear, asking them to make more noise. It was a clear reference to the fact that they had been giving him abuse throughout the match.

Luis Suarez's final reaction

Luis Suarez said as follows: "I know some Liverpool supporters were angry with me because I celebrated a goal against Liverpool here in Camp Nou [in 2019] and for that, I am so sad," Suarez then said. "I accept that and I say that hopefully, they understand my situation: we were playing at home and in the Champions League semi-final". It's great to see Luis Suarez apologizing to the Liverpool fans after what happened in 2019. It just goes to show that he's a class act and a true professional.
