Meanwhile, Real Madrid star Federico Valverde has reacted after Luis Suarez compared him to Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.

Valverde told Infobae: “It’s spectacular when you are compared to such a player, to a star, a world idol, not just a Liverpool one. It’s amazing.

“I see characteristics of him, obviously, I’m not going to say no, but one always looks out for oneself.”
