The Uruguayan started, played 68 minutes, and had an assist on Neymar's goal
Luis Suarez got back to playing 123 days later. He finally felt whole again, once his sanction stemming from the Chiellini affair in the Brazil World Cup offically became part of the past.
While Suarez has played in friendlies recently, this is the first time he has done so with the intensity of an official match. And this was no ordinary match, as he got to make his debut with Barça on the stage of all stages, a Clasico versus Real Madrid.
Things started off quite well as Suarez assisted Neymar in the 3rd minute to put Barça up 1-0 early on. He also made another sweet pass to Messi from the right side, but they were unable to capitalise as Iker Casillas parried, giving Barça a corner kick.
Luis Enrique, who had already announced before the match that Suarez would get some minutes, brought Suarez off in the 68th minute for Pedro Rodríguez.
