If he can even score free-kicks, anyone can be put in front of Luis Suárez and his Atlético. The visitors went in front in the 28th minute through a great hit from the number 9.
Some 20-22 metres from the goal, the Uruguayan stood in front of the ball next to Lemar. But it was the Uruguayan who took responsibility for the shot from a slightly centred but good-looking free-kick.
With the wall at the dee of the box, Suárez hit it over it. The number 9, with his right-foot, hit a shot that, although it wasn't perfect, was sufficient enough to make it 0-1.
The ball entered at medium height, but the Uruguayan didn't need it to go into the top corner to beat a 'Conan' that, had he sensed the former Barca player's intention, perhaps he could have avoided this goal.
