It's enough to bring a tear to the eye of any Liverpool fan.

It's only a couple of years since Luis Suarez left Merseyside for Barcelona. On Saturday afternoon at Wembley, the Uruguayan - still much loved by the Liverpool faithful - faced his old side again. Before the kick off of the International Champions Cup, Suarez was seen renewing acquaintances with former teammate Philippe Coutinho outside the team's changing rooms. After a short embrace and exchange of words between the pair,  Jordan Henderson also greets Suarez. https://twitter.com/DaveOCKOP/status/761956186245701632 Later on, with the teams taking to the field before the start of the match, Liverpool supporters gave their former number seven a rousing reception as his name was read out over the Wembley PA system. https://twitter.com/AnfieldHQ/status/761958465459851264 Suarez spearheaded the attack for Liverpool under to 2013/14, the year Liverpool narrowly missed out on winning the Premier League title under Brendan Rodgers. Since moving to Barca, Suarez has won a couple of Spanish league titles and Copa del Reys, a Champions League, a Uefa Super Cup and the Fifa Club World Cup. Six winners medals in two seasons. Not bad going, eh? Liverpool face Mainz 05 after their outing against Barcelona - their last preseason match before starting their Premier League campaign away at Arsenal next weekend.
