Luis Suarez headed to Old Trafford in great form domestically but without a goal in this season’s Champions League and having not scored away from home in Europe since 2015.
However, the Uruguayan took just 12 minutes to open the scoring on Wednesday, heading a Lionel Messi cross past David de Gea from a tight angle. Except he didn’t quite.
Nope, those fine people at UEFA decided it was actually an own goal by Luke Shaw, and so Suarez is left still waiting to open his Champions League account this season.
It’s a tough call for Suarez on what was his 50th Champions League appearance, but he will fancy his chances of getting on the scoresheet in next week’s second leg at the Camp Nou.
