Liverpool fans rejoice as Barcelona striker Luis Suarez destroys Real Madrid

The ex-Liverpool star was the architect of Madrid's misery at the Nou Camp

Barcelona's 5-1 thrashing of Real Madrid was made in Liverpool as Luis Suarez struck a superb hat-trick at the Nou Camp.

Another former Red, Philippe Coutinho, opened the floodgates by finishing off a classic free-flowing move before Suarez converted a VAR-awarded penalty.

The Uruguayan headed in his second after being set up by Sergi Roberto and completed his hat-trick by chipping over Thibaut Courtois, before Arturo Vidal compounded Real Madrid's misery late on.

Both Suarez and Coutinho were much-loved at Anfield before their moves to Spain and fans have been reminiscing about the good old days.

Suarez scored 82 goals in 133 appearances for the Reds and is widely considered one of the club's most gifted strikers ever, while Coutinho spent four years with the club before his £142m switch in January.

Some Reds fans even suggested the pair were exacting revenge for Liverpool's 3-0 Champions League final defeat to Madrid in May.
