Luis Suarez The Executor of the Second Reliable Penalty Taker of Barcelona after Lionel Messi

DBasia.news –  Barcelona are getting closer to winning the 2018-19 League title. On week 34 of LaLiga at the Menizorroza Stadium, headquarters of Deportivo Alaves, Barcelona won 2-0 on Wednesday (24/4) early morning Western Indonesian Time. Luis Suarez scored via a penalty in that match.

Barcelona mastered the course of the game since the early minutes. Ernesto Valverde’s squad recorded ball possession of up to 77 percent. Meanwhile, 17 opportunities created by the Barcelona players.

Barcelona opened the scoring in the 54th minute. The cooperation between Arturo Vidal and Sergi Roberto was completed by Carles Alena’s left-footed shot. Barcelona lead 1-0.

Six minutes later, Barcelona doubled the lead to 2-0 after Luis Suarez scored from the spot. The penalty kick began when Tomas Pina touched the ball with his hand in the forbidden box.

It was Luis Suarez’s eighth penalty goal in various competitions. This amount is considered a lot because he had to share with Lionel Messi who also became Barcelona’s penalty shooter.

Now, Barca are 12 points ahead of Atletico Madrid, who finished second. That way, if Atletico lost against Valencia on Wednesday (24/4) local time, Barcelona will certainly seal the LaLiga title.

Barcelona need to ensure the LaLiga championship title as soon as possible. Because, Lionel Messi and his friends are still struggling in the Champions League against Liverpool in the quarter-finals.
