Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde has defended Luis Suarez after his striker failed to net in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Lyon to mark almost one year without scoring in the UEFA Champions League.
Suarez went a 343rd day without getting on the scoresheet in Europe as Barca advanced to the quarter-finals for a 12th season in succession, but Valverde praised his frontman for bringing more to the team.
He told reporters: "Tomorrow, people will reel off the statistic about him not having scored but that does not take into account the way he played.
