Suarez makes Barcelona debut

Uruguayan and former Liverpool 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 cooled down as it now allows 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 with Lionel Messi also getting on the score sheet as Barca earned a comfortable win. Suarez wore the number nine shirt and was given a rapturous reception by the Barcelona fans when he was introduced.
