Manchester City 1-2 Barcelona: Luis Suarez bites back with double


Luis Suarez delivered his best performance in a Barcelona shirt, shining back on English soil, demonstrating the finishing finesse that had brought individual honours at Liverpool last season. 

Even with Sergio Aguero pulling a goal back in the second period, Suarez’s first-half brace exposed flaws in Manchester City’s defence and Manuel Pellegrini’s tactics, taking Barcelona to closer to the quarter-finals of theChampions League.

Playing through the middle, the man with No 9 on his back was superb, leading Vincent Kompany a painful dance. Despite a missed penalty, Lionel Messi was similarly excellent and Barcelona would have won by even more but for the agility of Joe Hart.
So many had come to watch Suarez, Messi and Barcelona, including Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana and Roy Hodgson, who all suffered at Suarez’s hands at the World Cup in Sao Paulo.
