Obviously, it is clear that if I score a goal against Liverpool I won't celebrate it in the same way."In the second leg at Anfield, a match Liverpool famously won 4-0 to secure their place in the European Cup final, Suarez was met with boos throughout, indicating fans hadn't forgotten his indiscretion from the previous week.Nunez will undoubtedly hope to maintain his strong relationship with the Reds. Liverpool will always be part of who I am.

Yet, following Karim Benzema's arrival at Al-Hilal in February, Nunez's prospects at the club have become uncertain.Due to stringent foreign player restrictions and Benzema's registration, Nunez is currently ineligible to feature in the Pro League or the Cup for his present club, making a Premier League return appear increasingly probable.Regarding Suarez, speaking in 2020, with relations between him and Liverpool supporters somewhat strained, the former Ajax striker attempted to make peace for his conduct a year prior.He said: "I know some Liverpool supporters were angry with me because I celebrated a goal against Liverpool here in Camp Nou and for that I am so sad. I accept that and I say that hopefully they understand my situation: we were playing at home and in the Champions League semi-final."I lived one of the best moments of my life there and I think the supporters didn't forget how my attitude was in the Liverpool shirt.
