Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has addressed the anger he caused when celebrating his goal against his former club, Liverpool.
The Uruguayan upset a lot of Reds fans last year when he opened the scoring against Jurgen Klopp's side in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.
After his goal Suarez wheeled away in celebration which some found disrespectful to Liverpool - a club where the forward made 133 appearances and scored 82 times.
Speaking to Liverpool's official website, Suarez explained his actions and how he hopes fans can understand why he celebrated.
He said: "I know some Liverpool supporters were angry with me because I celebrated a goal against Liverpool here in Camp Nou and for that I am so sad.
"I accept that and I say that hopefully they understand my situation: we were playing at home and in the Champions League semi-final.
"I lived one of the best moments of my life there and I think the supporters didn’t forget how my attitude was in the Liverpool shirt.
"Now hopefully they are so happy with the Premier League trophy this year."
He added: "For me, this is amazing for the supporters, for the players and for the so many people working inside Liverpool. So many people work there and for the last 30 years they didn’t know how it felt for Liverpool to win the Premier League.
"They have a really good chance to enjoy this this time and I think they are so happy and they are excited for the moment that Jordan gets the trophy. I think they needed this moment, for the Liverpool supporters, for the Liverpool club, for the people, for the Scouse people. I am so happy for them.
Send your congratulations to Jurgen and the team by placing a Premier League trophy on our map.
