Barcelona made a splash this summer with their signings and Luis Suarez made his debut with Lionel Messi and Neymar in a friendly win against Club Leon for a 6-0 victory and he comes in after his biting incident at the World Cup and his fantastic run last season at Liverpool and now he is getting ready for the La Liga season once he is allowed to play.

According to Pro Soccer Talk, Suarez played the last 15 minutes of the game and came off the bench and this comes as he is training for the season, because he will be suspended for the start of the season. Suarez is permitted by FIFA to play in friendlies and he can also train with the team, but he will not be able to play until October. The star can play in friendlies during his ban for both Uruguay and Barcelona but he is not allowed to play in official matches.

Suarez is looking to stay fit ahead of the start of his season and he also has the chance to work with the team between games leading to his actual debut. Messi scored a goal in the friendly match and Neymar had two and he looked recovered from his injury during the World Cup for Brazil. Barcelona signed Suarez for a $128 million transfer and he now comes to Barca after his fantastic season for Liverpool that saw him lead the English Premier League in scoring.
