Barcelona star Luis Suarez says that Liverpool are "so important" to his life as he returns to the club's Melwood training base to visit his former teammates.

Barcelona star Luis Suarez has claimed that his former club Liverpool are still "so important" to him almost two years after he left Anfield.

The Uruguayan spent three-and-a-half years at the Merseyside club before joining Barcelona in a £75m deal after the 2014 World Cup.

Today, Suarez took his two young children to Liverpool's Melwood training base to catch up with his former teammates.

"It was fantastic to see the lads," Suarez told the club's official website. "The people that work here are really nice and I miss them, so I wanted to come and see some friends. I have really good friends here.

"I had a really good moment here in three-and-a-half years and when you have a really good moment in your life, it is something you remember.

"I always try to watch the [Liverpool] games and look out for the results. I am very interested in how Liverpool are doing because they are so important in my life."

Suarez has scored 42 goals in 41 appearances for Barcelona this season.
