By Jamie Carragher for the Daily Mail

It's a quiet morning at Barcelona’s new Ciutat Esportiva training ground but two old friends are about to be reunited. LUIS SUAREZ has become the hottest striker in world football and Sportsmail’s JAMIE CARRAGHER has travelled to Spain to find how his former Liverpool team-mate has done it.

Suarez courted controversy during his time in the Barclays Premier League but since his £75million move from Anfield in July 2014, his form has gone to another level and the MSN partnership of Lionel Messi, Suarez and Neymar is being called one of the greatest forward lines of all time. They scored 137 goals in 2015.

This is Suarez’s first major interview with a British newspaper since he helped Barcelona win five trophies during 2015 and, as soon as he enters the media lecture theatre, he looks noticeably relaxed and happy. DOMINIC KING and PETE JENSON made notes as the conversation unfolded...

Pressure of being Liverpool's main man, conquering Europe and worshipping Batistuta - Suarez's 10 best quotes 

CARRAGHER: So what’s your record for Barcelona? 61 goals in 77 games. Not many defenders are stopping you scoring. But do you remember a charity game at Anfield last March? It was a 2-2 draw and the centre half had you in his pocket…

SUAREZ: (laughs) Well, we were playing for the charity. You were playing serious! Always serious!

CARRAGHER: I’m just pointing that out! When you turned up at Liverpool (in January 2011) it was already clear you were a top player but in five years you have become the best centre-forward in the world. What have you improved? What did you decide you needed to get better at?

SUAREZ: It was a dream to arrive at Liverpool but I never wanted to just settle for what I had achieved. I wanted more. I played for Liverpool alongside Stevie (Gerrard) and you and that was incredible but then I went on to have a lot more responsibility and even bigger clubs were interested in me. My attitude was always to keep growing as a player.

Carragher was quick to remind Suarez he failed to get the better of him during a charity game in March 2015

Suarez remains one of Liverpool's greatest players of the Premier League era after three years at Anfield

CARRAGHER: When you were at Liverpool, people used to say: ‘If we get back into the Champions League, Luis will stay.’ But I’d say: ‘No - never mind playing in the Champions League, he should be winning it.’ It wasn’t about you just playing a few games in the competition. It was about you getting that medal.

SUAREZ: Yes. That’s the mentality - don’t just play it, win it. My desire at Liverpool was to help get the club playing in the elite because they had been five years without it. We used to talk about it in the dressing room. If Liverpool are not in the Champions League, it is difficult to get the best players to come to the club. That’s why for me to come to Barcelona there had to be that opportunity to not just play the tournament but to win it.
