Luis Suarez sends a message to the fans who hounded Philippe Coutinho in Barcelona against Liverpool

Luis Suarez showed his support to Philippe Coutinho after being booed by Barcelona fans during their victory over Liverpool.

The former Reds midfielder had started the first leg of the Champions League semifinal at Camp Nou, but had no impact on the match.

Nelson Semedo eventually replaced the signing, amounting to £ 142 million, and was hailed by the jokes of Barcelona supporters as he was leaving the field.

After the match, won 3-0 by Barcelona, ​​Suarez took the picture with his teammate for Instagram.

Beside the picture, the 32-year-old striker wrote: "We are strong together".

Suarez was not the only star in Barcelona to show his support for Coutinho, who has struggled to convince fans since his signing in 2018.

Messi told Movistar Plus after Wednesday night's match: "We are in a decisive moment and the time has not come to criticize anyone.

"It's time to make everything happen the way we talked about it at the beginning of the season.

"It's ugly to see a teammate being booed in this way, we must all be together and support."
