Luis Suarez saluted Jordan Henderson as ‘one of the best captains in Liverpool’s history’ while expressing his delight at seeing his former club win the Premier League.
The Barcelona striker watched on from afar as the Reds were crowned champions on Thursday night and took great pleasure as a 30-year wait came to an end.
“It’s a pleasure for me to speak with you and the Liverpool fans. I am so excited as well because I played for a few years there and I have so many friends there,” Suarez told Liverpoolfc.com.
Henderson is the only player remaining at Anfield since Suarez’s time on Merseyside - which concluded in the summer of 2014 - and the Uruguayan has looked on with admiration as his ex-teammate has blossomed into a serial winner.
