Champions League, Manchester United 0-1 Barcelona: 5 Men who won the game for Barcelona

#3 Luis Suarez

Manchester United v FC Barcelona - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: First Leg

The Uruguayan was a nuisance on the pitch and continuously created trouble for the United back four with his movement and runs. Suarez was booed by the Old Trafford crowd every time he touched the ball. The Uruguayan was a former Liverpool player and even served a lengthy ban for his racist comments towards Evra. Old Trafford did not miss any opportunity to remind him that they hated him.

Despite the continued booing, Suarez went about his business like a true professional. He took up great positions, made clever little runs and also was impressive with his back to the goal. The Uruguayan even teed up Coutinho to have a go at De Gea on a couple of occasions, but the Brazilian failed to impress.

But it was in the 12th minute that Suarez did all the damage. As Messi broke away from the United defense and received the ball, Suarez took up a clever position at the far post. He knew that his skipper would find him and that was exactly what Messi did. The Uruguayan’s header deflected off Shaw into the goal and gave Barcelona the all-important goal.
