Luis Suarez remains without a victory in a Barcelona shirt as the Catalans suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Celta Vigo on his home debut on Saturday.
Barca had been unbeaten in the league until the Uruguayan’s bow away to Real Madrid last weekend, but consecutive defeats have seen them slip to third in La Liga behind Real and Atletico Madrid.
Luis Enrique’s star-studded frontline of Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi were left frustrated as the hosts struck the woodwork four times and were denied by Celta ‘keeper Sergio Alvarez numerous times as Joaquin Larrivey’s second-half strike sealed the Galicians first away victory over Barca since 1941.
“The other day against Real Madrid to return to playing was a bittersweet feeling, it was great to be back but we didn’t get the result,” Suarez told Barca TV.
“To make my debut in the Camp Nou in a competitive game was nice but the result is negative again.
“We created a lot of chances, but we didn’t have luck on our side. They defended well and their goalkeeper was great.
“Football can be unjust at times, the opponent creates one chance in the whole game and scores and that hurts.” Agency report
