Suarez was suspended by the FA for eight games and find £40,000 after being found guilty of abusing Evra during a match between Liverpool and Manchester United in October 2011.

"When I say I’m sorry it’s because I regret something. Being sorry implies regret. But they have also sometimes judged me on things that aren’t true, such as the racism thing," Suarez told Barcelona's official site.

"I was accused without evidence and that’s what grieved me the most. The others were actions when it was me who did wrong. I accepted that and begged forgiveness, but the racism thing, when I was accused without evidence, that did upset me."
