Former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has confirmed that he intends to celebrate against the Reds if he scores during their upcoming Champions League tie.
Speaking ahead of the clash with his former side, as reported by the Daily Mail, Suarez gave his reasoning behind the decision.
Ever the professional, Suarez knows that he has a job to do when he meets his former club, with a place in the Champions League final on the line.
In the build up to the game it’s nice to talk about how massively grateful I am to Liverpool for all they gave me but, you know me, once I’m on the pitch there will be no friendships, no companions, no thought for all the lovely moments.
I’ll defend the colours of Barcelona with all the pride in the world.
Many players refuse to celebrate against their former sides out of respect for the club and the fans, but it can often be a controversial decision, depending on how long the player in question spent at the previous club.
Liverpool travel to Barcelona on Wednesday before the return leg at Anfield a week later.
Barcelona head into the tie on good form, beating Alaves and Real Sociedad in their last two league games.
