John Aldridge admitted getting lots of pleasure in seeing Luis Suarez leaving Anfield on the losing side on Tuesday night.
The former Ireland striker called the Barcelona ace a ‘rat’ for his antics in the first leg.
Liverpool old boy Suarez opened the scoring in the Nou Camp as the Spanish side ran out 3-0 winners.
But a remarkable comeback saw Jurgen Klopp's side come back to win 4-0 at Anfield and 4-3 on aggregate to go through to the Champions League final.
And it was a victory made all the sweeter for Aldridge as former Reds hero Suarez was dumped out by his former club.
Aldridge said: "From a personal point of view, when everybody was watching celebrations at the end I just watched the sole figure of Luis Suarez going down that little hole the way that maybe rats do at certain times.
"I got a lot of joy watching him walking down and no-one going anywhere near him.
"His antics in Barcelona and a couple of times last night, he disrespected the club who look after him massively when the world was against him.
"That really pleased me. Some people get what they deserve and he got what he deserved."
The Gini Wijnaldum moment 'that will be seen for decades' - and it wasn't one of his goals
Liverpool-born Aldridge said the miracle night would go down as the best ever in the club's long history.
"I’ve still got to pinch myself," he said on Today with Sean O'Rourke on RTÉ Radio One.
"I’ve been going to Anfield now since the mid-60s and I’ve seen some unbelievable nights: Dortmund, St Etienne in ’77, but last night you’re talking about Barcelona.
"Barcelona are probably one of the top teams on the planet, to turn around a 3-0 deficit in the manner that Liverpool did, with two of their most inspirational players in Firmino and Salah out.
"Two lads who have been on the bench all season in [Xherdan] Shaqiri and Divock Origi and we win 4-0, it’s madness, it’s absolute madness.
"There’s something about Anfield, and it’s not corny what I’m saying, but when the chips are down time after they’ve come back and done remarkable achievements, but last night was the best. It has to be the best in history."
