LaLiga 2018-19, Espanyol 0-4 FC Barcelona: 5 Hits and Flops

#4 Hit: Luis Suarez (Barcelona)

El Pistolero can hit his target from any angle in front of him. A brilliant return from injury.

Luis Suarez returned to the starting line-up following his injury layoff. And needless to say, he found his partnership with Lionel Messi instantly.

He made two key passes in the game and also made 53 attempts to pass with a fair 90% accuracy. The amount of passing from center-forward position puts emphasis on his involvement in build-up play.

He came agonizingly close to scoring but his shot deflected off the woodwork. He continued to combine with Messi throughout the game and made inside runs irrespective of the arrival of the through ball. He got the reward for his tireless work just at the brink of halftime when he scored.

Suarez made the run towards the left side of the box and put his hand up for the through ball. Dembele found a picture-perfect ball but Suarez impressively fought off the pressure from the defender.

He moved into the box while being forced into almost a 0° angle by Diego Lopez. Somehow, some way, he squeezed the ball into the net from the almost impossible angle to score.

Suarez marked his return with a goal and Barcelona will hope for similar performances from their star forward.
