IT’S A SURPRISE TO nobody, but Liverpool finally parted company with Luis Suarez today.
The Uruguyan leaves for Barcelona having come up short in his efforts to help the Reds back to the top of the football pyramid.
Obviously, there were plenty of bad times; the biting, the stray fingers, the racism, but Anfield loved Suarez for things he could do with a football.
Here’s why he’ll be missed around (half of) Merseyside.
He made free kicks look remarkably easy
Want more? Try this against Everton or this against Zenit St Petersburg. Such a smooth strike.
He helped embarrass Man United this season
Let the ball do the work
Norwich always brought the best out in him.
Fancy a volley? Boom!
This is getting ridiculous. Poor Norwich.
Rafael still can’t figure out where Suarez took this ball
We hope Dirk Kuyt bought him a brunch as thanks for this hat-trick.
Goals out of nothing
Shoulders aren’t just for biting, but there are not many shoulders capable of this first touch
