Luis Suarez is a biter, he’s been accused of racism, but he’s easily the most prolific goalscorer on the planet.
Lionel Messi’s injury (knee) opened the door for Suarez and Neymar to lead Barcelona on the pitch. It was the former who did so on Tuesday. Tied 1-1 late in the match, Suarez displaced any notion that the Catalan giants are incapable of surviving without Messi’s talismanic talents.
His inch-perfect goal lifted Barcelona past Bayer Leverkusen 2-1.
Suarez scores a beauty as Barcelona come from behind to take 2-1 lead in span of two minutes. #UCL @HeinekenSoccer https://t.co/GgkOstgEYt

If there's anything to be learned from today, it's that Lionel Messi is bad and Barcelona are better without him

Put Suarez one-on-one and 7/10 he'd bottle but he scores the difficult ones. Strange player.

If only Arsenal had a player like Suarez. And a player like Busquets. And a player like Messi. Then maybe, just maybe...
