Barcelona ace Luis Suarez has explained why he left Liverpool.

Suarez admits he had outgrown Liverpool's ambitions.

He told the Daily Mail: "It was a dream to arrive at Liverpool but I never wanted to just settle for what I had achieved. I wanted more. I played for Liverpool alongside Stevie (Gerrard) and you and that was incredible but then I went on to have a lot more responsibility and even bigger clubs were interested in me. My attitude was always to keep growing as a player.

"My desire at Liverpool was to help get the club playing in the elite because they had been five years without it. We used to talk about it in the dressing room. If Liverpool are not in the Champions League, it is difficult to get the best players to come to the club. That's why for me to come to Barcelona there had to be that opportunity to not just play the tournament but to win it."
