Suarez had an impressive outing as he completed 5 dribbles and also won 14 duels. The 25-year-old was the most fouled player in the game as Real Madrid committed 7 fouls to stop his advances, one of which also saw Luka Modric being sent off as the Croatian caught Suarez' achilles from behind.
Every time he linked with Iago Aspas, it posed a real threat to Real who looked to stop the Spaniard from making any progress. The former Barcelona man showed glimpses of why he was rated so highly by the Catalans and their fanbase.
