The highly rated striker was omn top of his game back then in liverpool, which attracted interest from the likes of real Madrid and barca but finally sighed for barca.
Suarez, who cost the Catalan club £75m when he moved from Merseyside last summer, has managed only five goals in 16 outings with Barca and has failed to reproduce the stunning goal scoring form of his final two seasons at Anfield.
However, Suarez still retains the support of figures at the club, with Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu and coach Luis Enrique confident the goals will start to arrive on a more regular basis for the 27-year-old.
The former liverpool striker laboured against Atletico during his side’s 1-0 Copa del Rey win on Wednesday and wasted a fantastic opportunity in the first half when he fired over the bar after being played in by Ivan Rakitic.
Bartomeu said: "We have very high expectations, he is a great player. He has the support and the affection of the people."
Meanwhile, Enrique added: "Perhaps he didn’t have the fortune to score today but he fixed himself to the centre-backs very well, he gave us solutions, he was a danger near the area. The goals will come, there are no doubts with him."
