His side "looked like schoolboys" for Liverpool's winning goal in the Champions League semi-final second leg, Barcelona striker Luis Suarez said.


The Reds won 4-0 at Anfield, with Divock Origi scoring the winner from Trent Alexander-Arnold's quick corner, to overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit.

"We have to be ready for all the criticism that is going to rain down on us now," Suarez said.

"We are very sad, we are in a lot of pain."

The winner came while Barca's defence were still getting ready for a corner which Alexander-Arnold took quickly to the alert Origi, who pounced to score.

"For their fourth goal we looked like schoolboys," said former Liverpool striker Suarez, who was booed all night by his old fans.

It was Barcelona's second Champions League collapse in consecutive seasons. Last season Roma beat them 3-0 in the quarter-final second leg to knock them out on away goals.

Barcelona Boss Ernesto Valverde said: "I do not know how it's going to affect me, here we are, the coach has to take responsibility."

"It's very painful for us, especially for our people, it's the second year they've come back like that," he said.

Suarez defended his manager after the game. "We are the ones that played the game," he said.
