Barcelona star Luis Suarez has said Liverpool fans are among the best in the world.
The former Reds striker spent a goal-laden three-and-a-half seasons on Merseyside and has admitted the club's supporters still hold a special place in his heart.
In an interview with OTRO, the Uruguayan forward was presented with a picture of Liverpool fans and asked to discuss them.
He said: "They are amongst the best football fans in the world because of all the love they always gave me during my time at Liverpool.
"They have always loved me and treated me exceptionally well.
"That's why they are amongst the best football fans in the world. For me, the best."
The 33-year-old, who is currently sidelined for up to four months with a knee injury, made his competitive return to Anfield last May in the Champions League semi-final.
It wasn't the return he dreamed of as Liverpool stunned Barcelona with a 4-0 win which dumped them out of the competition which Jurgen Klopp's side went on to win.
