Suarez: I Was Hurt After Champions League Semi-Final Loss To Liverpool

Barcelona, who defeated Liverpool 3-0 in the first leg at the Camp Nou were stunned to a 4-0 humiliation at Anfield that saw the Reds advance to the final of the competition.

And Suarez has disclosed the demolition saw him battle with pain for weeks.

"It was days, weeks, that we who loved to take the kids to school, football, activities, we suffered ...I did not want to leave from home after losing, “he said, as relayed by the ​Mirror.

"It was very complicated. I really had a bad time, like most of my team-mates. We had already learned the previous year that we could have such a 3-0 result in our favour, but football has that.

"We knew how Anfield was going to be and how tight the stadium was, I told the teammates and everything,” he added. 

"It is not necessary to take away merits from Liverpool, which pushed the fans. 

"In five minutes they had two situations, at 15 minutes they already won and that enters you, it generates a nervousness.

"Then you see that a teammate loses the ball, another loses two more balls, and that leads you to an awkward situation until in the second half it goes out as it came out. 

"The Champions League has that, if you go out 30 seconds relaxed, they pass you by. At the group, institutional level and as a human being this kind of defeat is suffered.”

After suffering an injury in Barcelona’s first game of the season against Atletic Bilbao, Luis Suarez is expected to return for the Blaugrana after the international break.
