Luis Suarez came close to firing Liverpool to the Premier League title but the side under Brendan Rodgers could not get the job done.
Remember the Uruguayan’s tears after the 3-3 draw at Crystal Palace?
Now 38 years old, the striker is plying his trade alongside Lionel Messi at Inter Miami as they gear up for Saturday’s opening game of the Club World Cup against Al Ahly (kick-off Sunday 01:00 BST).
Suarez spoke to the media in the build-up to the game and paid tribute to his former side for their triumph last season.
“I’m so happy for Liverpool,” he said. “They did really well the last few years. To win the Premier League after a few years is so nice for them.”
Meanwhile, Suarez also spoke about compatriot Darwin Nunez who has struggled to fire at Anfield since joining for £64m from Benfica in 2022.

“Every time, I try to help him but his decision is for himself,” said Suarez. “He knows what he wants from football and what he wants for his future and his family.”
On Friday, Arne Slot’s side agreed a club-record £116m deal to sign Florian Wirtz and Suarez added the Germany attacking midfielder has done “really well” at Bayer Leverkusen.
