BARCELONA, Spain - Luis Suarez and Neymar played their first match since their memorable exits from the World Cup on Monday, with the Brazil star scoring two goals to help Barcelona rout Mexican champion Leon 6-0 in a preseason friendly at Camp Nou.
The last time Suarez played he infamously bit an Italian opponent at the World Cup, earning him a four-month ban from competitive matches.
Suarez, who has since transferred to Barcelona from Liverpool nike air vapormax white mens , was cheered by his new fans during the team's presentation and went on as a substitute in the 75th minute to another round of applause.
Neymar hadn't played since fracturing a vertebra during the World Cup on July 4, ruling him out of the rest of the tournament. He was deemed fit to play hours before the friendly and showed no signs of the injury.
Neymar set up Lionel Messi's third-minute opener before adding goals in the 12th and 44th. He was substituted at halftime before Barcelona youth forwards Munir El Haddadi scored in the 54th and the 77th and Sandro Ramirez added another in the 89th.
Suarez and Neymar were both greeted warmly when introduced along with the rest of their teammates. The Uruguay forward even received a smattering of ``Suarez! Suarez!'' from some supporters, whose enthusiasm for the new signing was only exceeded by that shown for Messi.
While Neymar shone in his return, Suarez was limited to just a few touches of the ball in his 15 minutes. He had his first practice with Barcelona on Friday, a day after the Court of Arbitration for Sport softened his ban.
Both of Barcelona high-profile's forwards featured in two of the most remarkable moments of this summer's World Cup.
Neymar was on the receiving end of a collision with Colombia defender Juan Camillo Zuniga in a 2-1 quarterfinal win that left him writhing in pain with a fractured back.
Suarez nike air vapormax white , on the other hand, was the aggressor when he sunk his teeth into Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini's shoulder on June 24, earning the bad-tempered Uruguayan his third career suspension for biting an opponent.
On Thursday, the CAS lessened his FIFA-imposed suspension to allow Suarez to practice and play friendlies for Barcelona following his ?97-million ($130 million) move.
Monday's friendly will likely be the last match Suarez plays before his ban runs out on Oct. 25.

Apple Inc. launched its Apple Music service in China Wednesday, tapping into a fiercely competitive market believed to be one of the largest in the world.
Chinese customers can also access iTunes Movies and iBooks online thanks to cooperation with the domestic film industry and local publishers.
Apple Music was introduced in more than 100 countries and regions following an announcement at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June.
The first three months for Chinese users will be free nike air vapormax womens sale , as in other markets. The monthly subscription fee is 10 yuan (about 1.5 U.S. dollars), and the family plan provides the service for 15 yuan for up to six members with individual accounts.
The prices are less than one-sixth of those for the U.S. market.
"We think the price of 10 RMB is hard to beat for all the music and all the sensational products like radio, movies and books," said Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services nike air vapormax womens , in a tele-briefing on Tuesday. He said Apple wants to be very competitive in the Chinese market, where most songs and movies are available online for free.
He said Apple's service is unique for its cloud music library and ability to sync and save a user's spot in a book or song when switching between devices.
In 2013, China's leading search engine Baidu bought and launched Baidu music. Alibaba, the e-commerce giant, bought music service Xiami cheap nike air vapormax mens , and Netease launched its cloud music service. Social media and games leader Tencent inked an agreement with Sony last December to jointly promote authorized digital music services in China.
Apple Music is not the first to the market, but it may be arriving at the right time.
In July, China's top copyright regulator announced stricter rules for music streaming, demanding online streaming services stop providing unlicensed music to users. The regulation will boost licensing fees for high-quality music and sharpen competition in the sector.
"We will absolutely establish and build relationships with the local music community," said Cue nike air vapormax mens sale , adding that Apple Music will try to discover artists and bring better music to customers.
Also through the iTunes Store, customers can download some of the latest Hollywood blockbusters as well as many local titles.
On local regulations and supervision, Cue said that Apple always complies with local laws and regulations wherever it operates. ' "We work closely with government and regulators for things like App Store," Cue said.
He said App Store in China has become the largest market in the world for app downloads, but he did not give specific figur. |
