The last time Luis Suarez scored away from home in the Champions League for Barca was 2015

Barcelona's Uruguayan forward Luis Suarez last scored in the Champions League away from home against Roma, in the Olympic Stadium, on September 16, 2015.

Since that 1-1 draw, Suarez has not netted in 12 European away games - Bate Borisov, Arsenal, Atletico (2015-16), Monchengladbach, Man City, Celtic, PSG, Juve (2016-17) and Sporting, Olympiakos, Juve and Chelsea this season. 

11 goals at home

He scored in the first leg against Roma to take his tally to 11 goals in that time. Even that ended a bad run in which he had not scored since the 6-1 in over PSG in the last 16, 2016-17. 

The Barca No 9 has 26 goals this season, 22 in La Liga, one in the UCL and three in the Copa del Rey, and is the top scorer if you discount the unbelievable Leo Messi (39). Barca need his goals to keep their treble dream breathing.
