Luis Suarez's romance with Camp Nou fans keeps growing. The Uruguayan finished off a massive counter attack led by Lionel Messi to give Barcelona a complicated win against Valencia. "El Pistolero" scored after 54 seconds, becoming the first Blaugrana player to score within the first minute of the game this year. Valencia deserved more against Los Culés, but they were not able to capitalize their chances against Claudio Bravo, including a penalty missed by Dani Parejo. Finally, when the game was coming to its end, Lionel Messi scored perhaps one of the easiest goals of his career to make the score 2-0.
During the course of the game, it seemed that Barcelona was a bit tired after their Champions League match against PSG last Wednesday, since Valencia dominated the game and enjoyed the best chances to equalize. Barcelona was not able to establish their style against Los Naranjeros, who could not put their names on the scoreboard.
This was Suarez's 19 goal with Los Blaugranas, and his performances keep getting better as time goes by. The Uruguayan will try to catch Neymar's 28 goals soon, and with his current form it wouldn't be a surprise if he did. His goal today was the fastest scored by a Barcelona player in six years. The last player to do so was Andres Iniesta, who scored after just 44 seconds against Recreativo Huelva back in 2009.
