Luis Suárez Makes Barcelona Debut In 6-0 Win V Leon (Video)

Luis Suárez came off the bench to make his first appearance for Barcelona in a 6-0 thrashing of Leon in Monday night's friendly match at the Camp Nou.

Thirty-one days after he signed for the club, Suárez ran out on the pitch to great applause as he was finally unveiled as a Barcelona player in the pre-match build-up.

The 27-year-old, who was cleared to make his debut in the friendly by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, despite currently serving a four-month ban for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during the World Cup, was named on the bench.

Suárez is not permitted to take part in a competitive match until 26 October, when Barça face Real Madrid at the Bernabéu in the first Clásico of the season.

Barcelona dominated the match and were four goals to the good thanks to Lionel Messi's third-minute opener, a first-half brace by Neymar and Munir El Haddadi's 55th-minute effort by the time Suárez was introduced in the 77th minute.

The £75 million-man replaced Rafina to a huge ovation and no sooner had he joined the action another goal was added, but it was not from the boot of the Uruguay striker but a second for El Haddadi.

Sandro then wrapped up the win with the sixth goal in the 90th minute.
