Luis Suarez has said that in his opinion Liverpool supporters are the best in World Football.
The once-adored Uruguayan was public enemy number one for Reds fans in the semi final Champions League tie against Barcelona last May due to his running battles with Liverpool players, most namely Andy Robertson.
The pair clashed on numerous occasions and Suárez was at his snidey best when he put the left-back out of action with a kick to the calf just before half time in the second leg.
However as we know all too well, Robbo had the last laugh on that occasion.
The antics were a taste of what opposition fans had known for years about the 32 year-old.
You absolutely love to have him on your side, but when he wears the colours of the team you are coming up against then it is a whole different story.
He is the ultimate competitor, he may not always go about it the right way, but it is his way of making sure his team is successful.
Currently on the sidelines with a serious knee injury, Suarez spoke about how much the supporters meant to him in his 3 and a half seasons at the club.
The Liverpool Echo via OTRO reported Suárez as saying
"I would say amongst the best.
“ They are amongst the best football fans because of all the love they always gave me during my time at Liverpool.
“They have always loved me and treated me exceptionally well.
“That's why they are amongst the best football fans in the world.
"For me, the best."
There has been plenty of discussion about the future of Suarez and if Barcelona will look to move on the veteran in the summer as they look to freshen up their front line.
Suarez will always be remembered for his outstanding performances at the Reds, and it is nice that he still respects those who spent their hard earned to watch him play.
Losing a player who could easily be described as a generational talent is always incredibly hard to overcome.
There have been some dark times over the subsequent period, but the recovery has been executed superbly.
