Former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has again taken aim at Barcelona and Ronald Koeman over his Camp Nou exit.
The Uruguayan has publicly criticised the club's handling of his departure, which effectively saw Suarez forced out of the club against his own will last summer.
Despite proving his undoubted quality over a number of years at Liverpool, the prolific forward was made to train away from the first-team and was informed over the phone by Koeman that he was no longer required.

This is a decision that Barcelona would come to regret as the 34-year-old fired Atletico Madrid to the La Liga title in his first campaign with Diego Simeone's side.
With Koeman now under mounting pressure as Barcelona's struggles continue, Suarez has shed further light on his controversial switch to a La Liga rival.
"The Koeman phone call to tell me that he was not counting on me lasted 40 seconds," he told Gerard Romero's 'Jijantes FC' Twitch channel, as per Marca.
Suarez added: "It is not the way to get rid of a legend.
"First he told me that I would not be in his plans and then he told me that if I did not resolve my contract I was going to play (in the first game of the season) against Villarreal.
"He lacked personality to tell me things clearly, if he did not love me or if it was really the club that did not love me."
Suarez continued by explaining the 'bad time' his family experienced as he was left in limbo by Barcelona.
Lionel Messi was also encountering problems with the La Liga giants, having been denied the chance to leave on his own terms last summer.
"They were very difficult days because of everything I gave to the club. I spoke with Sofía (his wife) and Leo after the call," said Suarez.
"It was a complicated year because of everything. Messi asked to leave and then I left.
"The two families had a very bad time. I came home in a very bad way from training."
Barcelona are currently bottom of their Champions League group after two matches played and Suarez was able to heap further misery on his former employers last weekend.
Atletico secured a 2-0 win over the Blaugrana, with the ex-Red providing an assist and scoring a goal of his own.
After finding the back of the net, Suarez looked up to the stands where Koeman was sat - and made a telephone call gesture.
This seemingly relates back to Koeman informing the striker over the phone he was surplus to requirements at Camp Nou.
