Luis Suarez makes debut in friendly at Nou Camp

Uruguay striker Luis Suarez made his Barcelona debut as a late substitute in their 6-0 victory over Mexican side Club Leon in a friendly on Monday. 

Suarez's four-month ban for biting was upheld last week but has been relaxed to allow the 27-year-old to train and play in friendly matches.

Barca coach Luis Enrique waited until the 75th minute to give the Nou Camp their first glimpse of Suarez.
Neymar scored twice and Lionel Messi also netted in an easy Barca win.
Suarez wore the number nine shirt and was given a rapturous reception by the Barcelona fans when he was introduced.

 

The striker, who joined Barcelona for £75m from Liverpool, showed some nice touches during the cameo appearance.
Barcelona fans will have to wait a little longer for Suarez's competitive Barcelona debut, which is likely to be at Real Madrid on 26 October in the El Clasico.
The Catalan club cruised to victory against Club Leon to win the Joan Gamper Cup after Argentina international Messi opened the scoring in the second minute.
Brazilian Neymar then scored twice before half-time to give Barca a comfortable advantage.
Teenage striker Munir El Haddadi also netted a brace - the second goal coming moments after Suarez's introduction - before 19-year-old Sandro rounded off the scoring with another two minutes from time.
Suarez was given his suspension for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's 2014 World Cup group match in Brazil in Jun.

Neymar really knows how to recover from a serious injury (a fractured back) that ruled him out of the world cup semi final against Germany, however that didn't stop him from partying the night away with the German world cup winner at Schweinsteiger's 30th birthday celebrations in Ibiza, Spain.

Rumours started to circulate when Neymar uploaded this photo with Paris Hilton and himself on Twitter and Instagram at the party, also turning a lot of focus onto Neymar's girlfriend Bruna Marquezine and their current relationship status.
