BARCELONA, April 20 - Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has admitted he was nervous at the prospect of playing alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar when he joined the club. The Uruguayan, who arrived under a cloud following his ban for biting at last year's World Cup, has made a rapid adjustment to life at the Catalan club and has scored vital goals to help put them on course for a treble. Barca face Paris Saint Germain on Tuesday looking to book a place in the Champions League semi-finals with a 3-1 lead from the first leg in which Suarez struck twice.
Suarez has scored 19 goals in all competitions but most importantly he has found the net in key games. He got the winner in the El Clasico against Real Madrid last month and struck twice in the first leg against Manchester City in the Champions League last 16. Despite scoring 31 goals for Liverpool in the Premier League last season, the prospect of proving himself in Barca’s vaunted attack was intimidating.
