Luis Suarez: Barcelona star labels whole side as 'youngsters' after bowing out of the CL

Luis Suarez has criticised the whole side and has labelled them as ‘youngsters’ after 4-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Barcelona had an excellent chance to qualify for the Champions League finals, but they blew their probabilities away by losing 4-0 to Liverpool in the second leg of the Semifinals. Jurgen Klopp’s side were counter pressing from minute one and fizzled out their opponents with total determination.

The hosts started the game on a high when Divock Origi tucked the ball in from close range after initial save by Ter Stegen. Barcelona had three big chances through their front three, Lionel Messi, Philippe Coutinho, and Luis Suarez, but Alisson Becker stood strong and singlehandedly kept Liverpool in the tie.

Substitute Gini Wijnaldum scored twice in the second half to equalize the score, followed by a moment of brilliance from Trent Alexander Arnold to pick out Divock Origi in a corner situation. The Belgian International scored his second goal of the night when Barcelona’s defence went to sleep. Luis Suarez labelled the whole side as ‘Youngsters’ after they conceded the goal in that manner.

Losing in a worst possible way for the second time on a trot, ex-Liverpool star Luis Suarez has asked for ‘forgiveness’ following that humiliating defeat at Anfield.

“We have to do a lot of self-criticism, it’s the second time the same happened to us,” Suarez said.

“We can not make these mistakes two years in a row, we have to reproach ourselves for what we are doing wrong. We are the ones who play, the coach made the tactic that he made in the first leg. We, the players, have to be self-aware, we are the ones who play.

“We have to apologize for the attitude, we were not a team. To our families, our children, our fans, we have to ask their forgiveness, it can not be that in a minute we concede two goals. In the fourth goal we looked like youngsters. We have to understand all the criticisms that are going to rain on us.

“We are very sad, hurt, we are human beings, we feel the pain, the frustration, we have to do self-criticism, put our chest out for the bullets of that are coming now.”
