Liverpool Echo IconSportFootballLuis SuarezLuis Suarez shone at Anfield for three-and-a-half years, and says that the best football of his career came on MerseysideLuis Suarez insists he was a better player at Liverpool than he ever was at Barcelona.The Uruguayan joined the Reds from Ajax in January 2011 and quickly captivated the Anfield crowd, scoring 82 goals in 133 games during a Liverpool spell which included 31 goals in 33 league appearances in the 2013/14 season as the Reds came close to winning the Premier League title.The League Cup in 2012 would prove to be Suarez's one and only trophy during his time on Merseyside, but after moving to Barcelona in the summer of 2014 he would go on to win four La Liga titles, the Champions League, the Club World Cup and four Spanish Cups, with the forward scoring 198 goals in 283 games along the way as he linked up with Lionel Messi and Neymar.READ MORE: Hugo Ekitike has just caused new Liverpool dilemma but Didier Deschamps claim speaks volumesREAD MORE: Liverpool could lose Mohamed Salah earlier than hoped as crunch AFCON talks continueBut despite those successes it is Suarez's time at Liverpool that the forward looks back on the time in his career when he was at his peak, particularly around the time of that unlikely title challenge under Brendan Rodgers.When asked which period of his career was when he was at his best, he told SPORT: “The Suarez at Liverpool in 2013 or 2014, when everything was going his way—because everything was going his way—was special. It’s a streak, a moment, when everything clicks and you enjoy it.“Going on to elabroate, he added: “The Suarez at Barcelona was completely different from the Suarez at Liverpool because of the space and the role he had to fulfil.“I always explained it: at Barcelona, I learned to play in a 10x10 metre space with one touch, something I didn’t do at Liverpool."At Liverpool, I had 40 metres to run on my own, and I had to trick myself and fight for the ball.

It was the same in Uruguay. At Barcelona, no matter where I looked, I had to get used to passing accurately.”Suarez won the Golden Boot and was named PFA, Football Writers and Premier League Player of the Year after his stellar 2013/14 campaign, after which he completed a £65m move to Barcelona.
