LUIS SUAREZ insists he will show no mercy if he gets the chance to dump former club Liverpool out of the Champions League.

But he believes that whatever fate awaits the Reds against his Barcelona, the glory days are definitely returning to Anfield.
Suarez, 31, spent four years on Merseyside and admits the club will always have a place reserved in his heart.
But ahead of their Champions League semi-final first leg showdown at the Nou Camp on Wednesday Suarez said if he gets the chance to pile on the misery he will not hesitate.
Liverpool will always be important for me - for giving me an opportunity, for playing a big part in my development, and of course for the amazing fans,” Suarez said.
“But this is a Champions League semi-final and all that will matter is helping Barcelona fight to get one step closer to another trophy.”
The Uruguay international played four seasons at Anfield between 2010-14 wearing the fabled No 7 shirt, scoring 69 goals in 110 appearances before leaving for Catalonia.
In his final season in a Red jersey, Suarez came agonizingly close to landing the Premier League in his final season under Brendan Rodgers, losing out to Manchester City.
In the penultimate game, the sight of the striker sobbing under his shirt as Crystal Palace’s stunning comeback from 3-0 down shattered Liverpool’s hopes become one of the most memorable images of the campaign.

Suarez says he is keeping his fingers crossed Jurgen Klopp’s current outfit can put things right and edge their gripping battle with City for this season’s crown.
Yet whatever happens over the course of the final two games, the striker feels it is only a matter of time before Liverpool regain their place at the summit of English football.
“Liverpool are now in a position where their future looks very bright again. The race is so tight in England this season it is impossible to say out of Liverpool and Manchester City who will be champions,” Suarez said.
“But Liverpool are now in a position where they will be challenging in the future.
“When we nearly won the title there was so much disappointment because I think there was a feeling that was our moment and we wouldn’t get another.
“But now Liverpool have the squad, the investment, the set up where this will not be a one offseason.”
Barcelona goes into the Champions League semi-final on a high having wrapped up a fourth La Liga title in the last five years with victory over Levante at the weekend.
And the Catalan giants are still in a with a shout of a domestic and European treble with their dates with Liverpool standing in the way of a first Champions League final since 2015 and with Valencia their opponents in the Copa Del Rey Final on May 25.
Suarez has made a significant contribution to that success, firing in 21 goals in the league and three in the domestic cup, he has so far failed to score in the Champions League this season.

Levante are taking their complaint over Barcelona’s alleged illegal line-up in the first leg of the two sides’ Copa del Rey last 16 tie to the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS), but the institution has denied their request to suspend cup action. The Valencian club believed that their case would be less likely to succeed if Barcelona’s quarter-final tie against Sevilla had already kicked off, so called for the tie to be suspended until the courts had ruled on the matter.
However, CAS have dismissed this particular request this Wednesday morning and the first leg at the Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan will go ahead as planned at 21:30 CET on Wednesday evening. Levante had already argued their case to the Spanish FA’s competition committee and appeals committee, but their complaint was deemed to have been submitted too late.
Leo Messi.
Meanwhile, both Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets will play no role in the cup game with the Basque coach opting to rotate the squad ahead of the LaLiga match this weekend as the Catalan giants face Girona. On the other hand, the Blaugrana new signing Boateng has been immediately included in the team squad, on the same day he took part in his first training session as a Barcelona player.
Here is Barcelona full squad to face Sevilla: Jasper Cillessen, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen; Nelson Semedo, Gerard Pique, Clement Lenglet, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto, Thomas Vermaelen; Ivan Rakitic, Denis Suarez, Philippe Coutinho, Arthur, Carles Alena, Arturo Vidal, Riqui Puig, Oriol Busquets; Malcom, Luis Suarez and Kevin Prince Boateng.

The rumors about possible signings begin. In little more than a month the market opens up, and in the Camp Nou a lot of movement is expected. Both arrivals and departures. And Luis Suárez, one of the heavyweights, warns: they come for a crack. 
This is Ivan Rakitic, and it is Manchester City who is willing to throw the house out the window for the Croatian. Pep Guardiola has looked at the ex-Sevilla to reinforce his midfield, and wants to put a lot of money on the table to tempt him. 
Guardiola, after conquering the Premier League, wants an even more competitive team for the next campaign. Rakitic would give him that leap of quality he seeks for the core. 
Rakitic may feel really tempted by the offer that comes from the Premier, and is that after having triumphed in Spain could decide to take a new step in his career. 
To this day you can not rule out anything, and that Guardiola's power of conviction is very high. In the dressing room of Barça and warn: Eye with Rakitic.

The club is a tragedy trapped in a paradox.

On the one hand, it maintains the sport line of moderate success, but Madrid's hegemony in Europe detracts from any of its titles. On the other hand, the board of directors lives in a constant fight with the players that seems to want to eliminate all of Laporta's legacy .

That the quarry is no longer a value to take into account is very clear, but apart from this reality, Barça is also losing heavy weights of better times. The only unquestionable player in the squad is Leo Messi , and even he wants to weaken him in the locker room.

The Argentine has Luis Suárez as best friend and partner in the club, and the Uruguayan is included in the list of players to be banned by the board. This is what ensures Messi's surroundings : "They want to kick him out".Suarez plays a ball at Barça Roma / EFE
Messi will be the captain of Barça next year, and the bracelet will give him a power within the sports city Joan Gamper even more unstoppable than he has now in the entire institution Barcelonista.

Next to him will be Piqué, Busquets and Jordi Alba or Suárez . Messi prefers to choose his attack partner, and the Culé leadership does not want to allow it. They know that the charrúa is a danger to his image and that with that three captains the real leaders of the club would be the players.

For that reason, and claiming that in January he will turn 32, from the sports management of FC Barcelona it is considered that Suarez can leave this summer if there is a good offer. They argue that their performance this year has shown its clear decline, as well as not having been a determining factor in the Champions League .

Suarez was 6 months without playing anything else to reach the Camp Nou in a clear commitment to the club, but now he finds that it is the weakest link for the board. Only Messi's protection can save him.

Controversial statements made by Luis Suarez to Radio Rincón and Cadena Celeste, both recognized media of Uruguay.


From Barcelona, the Barça forward attended a correspondent and commented on different current situations. Among them, the possible signing of Antoine Griezmann. He takes it for granted.

Many have questioned the role of Suarez himself in the Catalan team in case Griezmann is the new signing for the front of Barça.

Being both forwards accustomed to play for the center, as Leo Messi himself , it seems difficult to make them fit well. In addition, we must remember that Dembelé is also there.

The other expensive signing of the Barça was Coutinho , but the Brazilian star is destined to occupy the position of Andres Iniesta, therefore it will not be cause for conflict.

However, the fact that Suárez recognizes the signing of Griezmann is synonymous with problems in the dressing room: one of the four strikers can not be a starter.

And it should be taken into account that Dembelé cost 105 million euros plus another 40 million in variables for meeting objectives. But it is still greenDembelé participates in a round with his colleagues from Barça / EFE
Beyond how Barça will solve this situation, what is surprising is that Luis Suarez speaks so naturally about a signing that is not yet closed. And not only that.

It is even more surprising that he talks about the signing of Griezmann for Barça just when Atlético have qualified for the Europa League final. A poor favor to the Frenchman, who will have to endure many more comments than he already received.

The words of Luis Suárez about Griezmann

"It is proud that they bring players of that quality as Antoine , as they came Dembélé or Coutinho . He is a player who contributes a lot, he has been playing at a high level for many years, always fighting. Command Atlético up and that's fundamental. Welcome be, because it does not come to take away the position to anyone but with the ambition to want to win important things, "confessed Suarez.

There is who thinks, with foundation, that Suarez is really hurt by this signing even if he does not want to express it publicly. The Uruguayan knows, deep down, that Griezmann can end up sitting on the bench.

The unconditional support of Messi

The goal of the club is to train Dembelé so that in the long term he is the companion of Griezmann and Messi in attack. A Suarez is left with much time to the fullest.The secret pact of Griezmann with Barça | EFE
And there is one who asks a question: " The truth? " Maybe that's why Suarez has put Griezmann in a compromise that could make him end his career in Atlético.

But the truth is that despite everything, for now Suarez is calm. No matter how many threads the club moves, the Uruguayan knows that he has Messi on his side.

As long as the Argentine star defends him and wants him at his side as his main partner up front, neither Griezmann nor the board will be able to harm Suarez.

Reborn. Munir El Haddadi is signing a spectacular season in Alavés . The footballer ended up in Medizorroza last summer on loan and his contributions to the Basque team, with the permission of Pitu Abelardo , have been decisive for the team's salvation.


The set of Álava pointed dangerously to the descent, but the arrival of Abelardo to the bench was crucial for the change of dynamics of the Alavés . The juice that he has been able to get out of his players has been key, and especially to a Munir who has signed his best minutes at the orders of the Asturian coach. 
Munir el Haddadi
In total, the striker has 13 goals and seven assists in 35 games . A very satisfactory figures considering that around you do not play Leo Messi , or Andres Iniesta or any world-class crack.

A performance in which those responsible for FC Barcelona see as a reef. You can get a good slice of it. Its market value, according to Transfermarkt , is 10 million euros , but in the offices of the Catalans they calculate that they could get a much higher amount.

Barça reacts with Munir

But the advantageous situation of the Catalan entity will not be eternal. The striker ends contract in June 2019 , which means that starting next January, Munir will be the owner of his services, who will be able to negotiate with whomever he wants and who will be able to leave the summer of next year with the freedom card.


That is why culés leaders must study soon the options they have to renew the Moroccan. The leaders do not want the attacker to escape at zero cost and the solution is to extend his contract in order to regain control of his services.

The strongest answer of Munir

But the soccer player is not stupid. The position of the soccer player before a Blaugrana proposal is clear: "No". Munir does not forget that he was a puppet next to Messi and Luis Suárez , who never wanted him on the pitch, and will not renew with the Culé team to return to stay in the band or to have to leave on loan to another team.

Likewise, it will not sign an agreement that will keep it linked to the Blaugrana entity and that forces it to be at the mercy of the presidents. In this sense, he knows that the intentions of the club go only to sell it at a higher price and he is aware that he will be forced to leave again if the offers that arrive do not convince those responsible.
