Luis Suarez

“Every player would love to get to the absolute top, and Real Madrid is it.”

“Nobody in England knows the real Luis Suarez.”

“Away from the pitch, I'm a very calm person. I maybe have the odd cross word with my wife, like any relationship, but that's it.”

“I want to do things right. I really, really do.”

“I always want more. I always want my team to perform to their best.”

“'Negro' can refer to anyone with dark hair as well as dark skin, and I've been used to the word being used in Spanish in this way all my life.”

“I understand why biting is seen so badly.”

“All I can say is that I have arrived with the desire to be a success at Barca, that I am hungry to win titles.”

“Of course I would like to play with Cristiano Ronaldo - he is a great player.”

“I think all the bad things I have been through are in the past. I believe I am on the right path now, dealing with the people who can help me, the right kind of people.”

“I think the people who really know who Luis is are the people who are by my side, who have always been by my side.”

“On the pitch, I argue, I shout, I talk rubbish and generally do anything I can to get ahead.”

“People ask, 'How can you let a defeat hurt you so much?' But it comes back to the effort you have put into your career as a youngster.”

“My parents separated when I was nine, but my father was always around, and he still follows me now. He is always sending me messages.”

“At clubs like Liverpool, great players come and go.”

“I had a really hard time growing up; we were a large family, and we didn't have much money at home.”

“I'm an emotional person, and I externalise my feelings a lot with some things, but I'm strong with others.”

“Everyone has different ways of defending themselves.”

“Injuries are not only a physical question, which is the most important thing, of course, but also a question of your mind. If you're thinking: 'I'm not going to make it', 'I can't cope', 'it hurts', 'it's never going to get better', then it won't.”

“I need to be playing in the Champions League.”
