Suarez rolls back years with 40-yard lob for Atletico ahead of United UCL tie

talksport.com, 21 February 2022, 09:37
Luis Suarez appears ready for Manchester United by warming up for the Champions League clash with a sensational 40-yard lob for Atletico Madrid.

Against Osasuna on Saturday night, the 35-year-old spotted the goalkeeper off his line and curled a beautiful long-range effort straight into the net with his weak left foot.

It bodes well for the LaLiga giants that Suarez netted his ninth goal of the season ahead the last-16 fixture on Wednesday.

Diego Simeone's men host the Premier League side at the Wanda Metropolitano and with both sides enduring disappointing seasons, it's a very difficult match-up to call.

Suarez's goal was certainly one that makes you reminisce about just how good he was when he played in England.

He was truly a phenomenon for Liverpool, hitting 82 goals in 132 appearances before sealing a £75million switch to Barcelona in 2014.

And his long-range effort against Osasuna is not the only time he's found the net from a huge distance.

Suarez used to terrorise Norwich City during his days in the Premier League and one of his goals in 2012 was another ridiculous effort he truly had no right to score.

He gathered the ball just metres in the Canaries half before smashing it over the top of a hapless John Ruddy.

Suarez scored three hat-tricks against Norwich in total during his four seasons in the English top-flight.

That accounts to half of his total hat-tricks in the Premier League - so it's safe to say the Norfolk club were happy to see the back of the iconic striker.

Suarez is still going strong despite being in the tail end of his career.

He's got nine LaLiga goals in 15 appearances this season.

It comes after he helped steer Atleti to their first title in seven years in 2020/21 season.
