"And of course everyone at Liverpool - all my colleagues, not just last year but over the whole three and a half years I was at the club.

"They were spectacular years and it was thanks to this man here (Dalglish) that they signed me, that they noticed me.

"Now I am moving on to a new period, and I have to enjoy this next stage of my life - it is a dream come true."

Suarez received award from Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish. Dalglish was asked how he though Suarez would get on at the Nou Camp.

The Scot replied:

"I don't think there will be anybody who will be able to stop him.

"He has been fantastic everywhere he has been - a huge success and fabulously entertaining. There is no reason why he won't continue that for Barcelona.

"But if he does hit a problem, I'm sure we can take him back on loan."

“You were unbelievable all season for us, a magical player, and Barcelona are very, very lucky to have your services moving forward,
