Luis Suarez admits he is "sad" over situation with Liverpool

Luis Suarez has revealed his sadness that he missed out on winning the title with Liverpool back in 2014.

The Barcelona star also claimed he is sad that some Liverpool supporters were angry with him for celebrating his goal in the first leg of the 2019 Champions League semi-final.

Suarez spent three years at Liverpool and nearly won the Reds a first Premier League title single-handedly in his final campaign, before heading to Spain.

Reflecting on his time at Liverpool, and just missing out on the title, he told Liverpool's official website: "In the last year when I played there at Anfield I was so sad for the supporters [that we missed out on the title].

"I know some Liverpool supporters were angry with me because I celebrated a goal against Liverpool here in Camp Nou [last season] 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."

Liverpool secured a first Premier League title in 2020.

Suarez is delighted for his former team and in particular club captain Jordan Henderson, who he played with during his time on Merseyside.

He added: "When I saw last year [him winning] the Champions League, I was so happy for him. Why? Because as some people know he had some problems with his dad and he had really good moments and some bad moments in Liverpool.

"When he lifted the trophy, the dream is done but this season I [will be happy to] see him lifting the [Premier League] trophy because he is a really good person.

"I speak sometimes with him and I said to him, 'You have a really good chance this season' and he is so excited.

"We watch some [Liverpool] games when we can and we see that Jordan, he is the captain from the midfield. He speaks a lot and for his teammates this is so important, when they have confidence with the captain.

"For me, Jordan is one of the best captains in Liverpool's history."
