Jose Mourinho has praised Luis Suarez for celebrating his goal against former side Liverpool in the Champions League this week.
Uruguay international Suarez netted the opener as Barcelona secured a 3-0 win in the first-leg of their semi-final encounter against Jurgen Klopp's side on Wednesday night.
Suarez infuriated some Liverpool supporters by celebrating the goal, but the former Manchester United manager believes he had every right to embrace the moment.
Speaking after the game Mourinho praised Suarez for his professional and the winning attitude which he showed.
"[Suarez] did something which I think it is good, and I love it,” Mourinho told RT.
“Many of the players today in football, they play and sometimes, even in an emotional moment, which is the moment [scoring] where we are paid for, they still care about their image, about some moments where people can say, ‘oh, nice fair play, he’s playing against the team where he played for a few years, and where he was loved’.
"That has nothing to do with these 90 minutes. And for these 90 minutes, he [Suarez] forgot he had played for Liverpool.
"The only thing he was focused on was that match, his job, go to the final, win the Champions League. He scored the goal, he celebrated the goal.
"He was fighting people, probably [Liverpool] players that he loves, and probably players that tonight they are on the phone.
"Incredible, incredible attitude."
