What Luis Suarez said about incredible Liverpool win over Barcelona in Champions League

Luis Suarez delivered his verdict after Barcelona crashed out of the Champions League to Liverpool on this day in 2019.

The former Reds star opened the scoring in the first leg before Lionel Messi hit a double to give them a 3-0 lead heading into the second leg.

But incredibly, Liverpool turned the tie around with Suarez enduring a miserable night on his Anfield return as the Spanish champions lost 4-3 on aggregate.

Speaking to Spanish reporters after the game, he questioned the attitude of his team-mates and admitted that the fourth Liverpool goal was the sort he hadn't conceded since junior football.

"I think we have to do a lot of self-criticism, we are adults, we have many years in this category," Suarez said.

"We must reproach ourselves for things that we have done wrong, like thinking that everything was liquidated.

"We should not blame the coach, we are the players who play.

"I do not know if it's a matter of attitude, but we're in Barcelona , ​​we can not get two goals in a row.

"The fourth is a goal by kids."
