Suarez, who scored 31 goals for 31 goals in 37 games for Liverpool last season, was handed the award by former manager Kenny Dalglish at a ceremony in Barcelona on Wednesday afternoon.
The Uruguayan had initially requested that Brendan Rodgers hand over the award but the current Reds’ boss was unable so Suarez choose the man who signed him from Ajax in January 2011.
