Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has said that it was a big relief to make his debut for the club in their 3-1 defeat by Real Madrid after sitting out a four-month ban for biting.
Suarez, who signed from Liverpool in July for 75 million pounds, set up his new side's goal before being substituted on 69 minutes. He said that it was a big relief, adding htat he is very happy with the minutes he had.
The striker said that he has a bittersweet sensation because of the result but added that this team has picked itself up before many times, The BBC reported.
Barca won their opening eight league games while Suarez served his suspension for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup, but their defeat in El Clasico leaves them just one point ahead of Real at the top of the table.
The former Liverpool star said that Barca went from having little control in the first few minutes to taking the lead but added that Real is very good on the counter-attack and they killed off the game.
