SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Josep Maria Bartomeu, Barcelona president:

"In relation to Luis Suarez that your colleague has also asked about, Luis Suarez is a player of another club, Liverpool and we can't talk about players in other teams. We don't like to talk about players in other clubs, so I can't say if there is an interest in Luis Suarez. He has apologised for what he did against one of his colleagues playing for the national team - but in the end he is a professional footballer. He has apologised and he's taken a step towards changing. I think it is the responsibility of all of the football world to support him and give him the best help because he is a great player. In the end I can't talk about interest in Luis Suarez, because he belongs to another club. However, I can talk about official football views and he is a player that has to continue playing."
