Luis Suarez took the piss out of Leicester City’s defence with this sensational goal

What a finish...

Ben Kenyon

Leicester City had the eyes of the world on them as they romped to Premier League glory last season.

The shock English champions will again have the entire footballing world watching when they try to retain their title as well as challenge the big boys of Europe in the Champions League next season.

So everyone has been watching with great interest as Claudio Ranieri’s men lined up in some pretty high profile pre-season friendlies against the continent’s top sides.

They don’t come much bigger than Barcelona, but by half time in the pre-season fixture Leicester found themselves 3-0 down against an irresistible Barca side.

Yet it was a wonderful Luis Suarez goal, sandwiched in between two finishes from Munir that lit up the first 45 of the contest.

The Uruguayan literally took the piss out of the entire Leicester defence that just several months ago had been solid as a rock on their victorious title charge.

A lovely ball over the top of the deep-lying Foxes was plucked out of the air by Suarez before he made Robert Huth look daft, nutmegging him as he cut in.

The former Liverpool man danced and junked his way through and managed to stab home into the top corner as four Leicester men around him could only look on.

Suarex then turned provider with a lovely ball to Munir which he slotted home.

Munir’s opening goal was one to savour too, with Messi threading a ridiculous ball through the entire Leicester team which he subsequently latched onto.
