The newest member of the MSN attack got things settled for Barcelona when they neded him the most.
Playing against ten men due to Fernando Torres' sending off, Luis Suárez took a stand and led Los Blaugranas to a come-from-behind win, earning his 44th and 45th goals in all competitions this year. Suárez first strike came after 63 minutes, adding another one to his tally ten minutes later.
This was Suárez's 23rd appearance in the UCL, and he has already managed to score 16 goals. Only three players ever needed less games to score the same amount. Those footballers were Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Soldado and Jari Litmanen.
The Uruguayan striker is now level with Robert Lewandowski at eight goals apiece. Now, the South American footballer will try to reach Cristiano Ronaldo's tally of 13.
Fans and experts were full of praise for the former Liverpool ace. Here are some of their comments.
How good is that Suarez though

Suarez can't stop scoring. 45 goals from 45 games this season. I think he's the best striker in the world right now.

Suarez (45), Messi (37), and Neymar (27) have combined to score 109 of Barcelona's 146 goals in all competitions this season #fcblive

Suarez's commitment / physicality / nasty streak also pretty handy too. He was sailing pretty close to red card at times tonight.

When does Suarez get his Balon'dor. Best no.9 in the world. What a player.

Suarez better now than Thierry Henry ever was.
