Narrative alert! Narrative alert! Luis Suarez is playing his first game on English soil since his summer sale from Liverpool to Barcelona. Fittingly, the controversial Uruguayan scored twice in the first half against Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 match, giving Barcelona two vital away goals.
You don’t exactly need to be a soccer tactics expert to realize, you know, marking Suarez in the penalty area might be a good idea. Instead, if you count, there’s five City players standing around the six-yard box allowing Suarez to drift in and score from short range on Joe Hart.
The first goal was much more conventional for Suarez, cashing in a deflection off Vincent Kompany.
Turns out, for 45 minutes at least, the second place team in Spain is far superior to the second place team in England.
