Barcelona striker Luis Suarez is desperate for Champions League glory.

Barca face Liverpool in the first-leg of their semifinal on Wednesday night.

"After some years in which we didn't get there, the Champions League semi-final has raised great expectations, the object in this final part of the season is clear," said the Uruguayan striker.

“In the Champions League you cannot allow yourself not even a second of distraction. We know those 10 bad minutes we had against Manchester United and nearly paid a high price.

“The objective is the next game. Nothing can distract us from trying to be in the final. We have to have the best game of our season.

“After three years being knocked out we have a thorn in our side. We had to return and we are on a good track."
