Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has warned Luis Suarez over a potential backlash from the Reds faithful when he returns to Anfield on Tuesday.
The 32-year-old spent three years on Merseyside before leaving for Barcelona in 2014.
The Uruguayan opened the scoring against Liverpool on Wednesday evening and didn’t hold back on celebrating his effort at the Nou Camp.
Despite a positive performance from Liverpool, Lionel Messi struck twice in the second half to ensure Barcelona will travel to Anfield with a three-goal advantage.
And talking to Viasport, cited by the Daily Mirror, Carragher was asked about the reception Suarez could receive when he makes his Anfield return on Tuesday.
I don’t think it will be as warm as he would have hoped.
He was Luis Suarez. You love him when he is in your team and you hate him when he plays for the opposition.
It was the first time he was in the opposition and I don’t think Liverpool fans will have liked him.
He plays on the edge, very street-wise. A great first goal for him but I don’t think it will be the hero homecoming he will be hoping for.
Suarez was also reportedly involved in a tunnel bust-up with Reds left-back Andy Robertson, so the experienced striker, along with former Liverpool winger Philippe Coutinho, may well be in line for a hostile reception.
