The Uruguayan striker was happy with the victory over the minnows and scored twice

Luis Suarez opened his account for the season on Sunday, scoring two goals as Barcelona beat Huesca 8-2 at Camp Nou in La Liga. 

“What’s important is helping the team and winning the game, that’s what counts,” Suarez said of his goals, with his second arriving from the penalty spot in stoppage time.  

Barca have now won their first three games in La Liga heading into the international break.

“Little by little we’re finding our rhythm,” Suarez added. “We were asleep a little bit at the beginning [when Huesca scored], although that forced us to react.”  

Suarez’s first goal was given after a VAR review. 

“When you score you want to celebrate it and the adrenaline of the goal’s lost a little bit with VAR, but it means there aren’t any mistakes,” the No.9 said. 

Barça lead Real Madrid at the top of the table by goal difference. 

“It’s always important to be at the top,” Suarez finished. “But things are just getting started and we have to be prepared for what is to come.”
