Luis Suarez makes Barca debut in 6-0 win (Highlights)

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.
