FC Barcelona star Luis Suarez has said he looks forward to the UEFA Champions League game against Ajax, but will not celebrate if he scored.
FC Barcelona's star forward Luis Suarez said Wednesday he was looking forward to the UEFA Champions League group game against his former team Ajax, but would not celebrate if he scored.

He said he "can't wait" for the big game. "It will be a very special match for me," he said.
Emphasizing that Ajax had an important impact on him, Suarez said: "I learned lots of things in there and developed myself. If I score my first goal at 'Barca,' the pressure on me would be removed, but I will not celebrate as I respect my former team. I still have an emotional tie with the club."
