Barcelona came from behind to beat Inter 2-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday, Luis Suarez netting a decisive brace.
Match Reports
Luis Suarez was Barcelona's hero as the striker scored twice – including a late winner – to secure a 2-1 Champions League victory over Inter at Camp Nou, with Lionel Messi impressing upon his return from injury.
An Argentinian No.10 was on the scoresheet in only the second minute of the match, but it was not the returning Messi, as Lautaro Martinez got his first ever Champions League goal.
Barca – who were dominated in the first half – took charge after the interval and restored parity through Suarez's fine volley.
The Uruguay striker completed the turnaround six minutes from time with a similarly gorgeous effort after Messi's wonderful run.

2' GOAL! Barcelona 0-1 Inter (Lautaro)
Sanchez with a quick ball in between the Barca defence to Martinez, who manages to hold off the challenge of Lenglet and then slide the ball into the bottom right-hand corner past Ter Stegen, who had no chance of saving that, it was perfectly placed in the corner.
16' CHANCE! Lautaro almost doubles their lead
This time his touch is too heavy as Lautaro rounds Ter Stegen and he just runs out of room to fire the ball into an empty net. Instead he has to try and backheel the ball to a team-mate, but Barca get numbers back and clear the danger.
25' CHANCE! Messi's shot saved
Messi with a low drive from around 25 yards out, but Handanovic reads it well and makes a comfortable save.
27' OFFSIDE! Candreva's goal disallowed
Candreva gets in-behind the Barca defence down the right wing, he then sprints into the box and fires the ball past Ter Stegen at the near post. However, the winger didn't even bother to celebrate as he was well offside.
58' GOAL! Barcelona 1-1 Inter (Suarez)
It's a terrific volley by Suarez after Vidal picks him out with a cross at the far post, just on the edge of the box. The striker turns and drills the ball into the ground, sending it into the far right-hand corner, out of the reach of Handanovic.
60' NICE SHOT! Griezmann's shot into the sidenetting
Gaps are starting to open up at the back for Inter and Griezmann just managed to sneak through, after a quick throughball by Messi and he should square it to Suarez who is open in the six-yard box, but he opts to shoot at goal himself and drills it into the sidenetting.
84' GOAL! Barcelona 2-1 Inter (Suarez)
Superb move by Barca, a quick break forward, with Messi showing great skill to skip past a couple of Inter defenders, before playing it off to Suarez, who just curls the ball into the bottom right-hand corner of the net.

This obviously unfit Lionel Messi has done more and applied himself better than Mesut Özil ever had in a big match... Even an injured Messi is still a level ahead of many teams best player

Barcalona needs to play better! 2-1 against Inter is really bad! And also because they play 3-5-2 (3 defenders), with others words they making fun of barca! Inter even made there first goal in 49 years at camp nou, what does that say? Sell griezmann he the worst signing ever! Not even a barca fan but results like this hurts even me! Suarez had to save the team again!

This is the best barca I have ever seen ,they had team spirit and they fought till the end, all the players played their role very well, the first half was really that good, the second half was amazing and well played, de Jong played in Busquets position and he felt really comfortable, he dribbled past the inter players especially barella and candreva, griezmann didn't really put fire into the match but contributed as well, am happy Suarez scored his brace today, he was impressive and decisive, lovely assist from messi to set up Suarez second goal, messi does what he does and that is impress, he nutmegged, he dribbled and he assisted, that is why he is called the best, great game today, am finally relieved, happy we won the match and collected the three points, good luck barca..
