Luis Suarez netted against his former club Barcelona but refused to celebrate as Atletico Madrid steamrolled to a 2-0 half-time lead against their LaLiga rivals.

Suarez, like he has been doing throughout his glittering career, finished brilliantly from Thomas Lemar's threaded pass to double his side's lead after the Frenchman netted the opener.

Suarez netted Atletico's second to continue his good form

He now has four goals this season

The Uruguayan scored a staggering 195 goals in 283 appearances for Barca in six years at Camp Nou following his move from Liverpool in 2014.

To everyone's surprise he was allowed to leave for Atletico in 2020 before helping them to the LaLiga title last season.

And his former club's season looks to be going from bad to worse unless they can produce a minor miracle at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The five-time European champions, who lost their greatest ever player Lionel Messi for free in the summer, have had a desperately disappointing start to their campaign.

They have won three of their opening six LaLiga matches but a 3-0 defeat to Benfica in midweek has meant this is the Spanish giants' worst start to a Champions League campaign and currently sit bottom of Group E.

Koeman couldn't bare to watch as his side crumbled

Nevertheless, Barca president Joan Laporta insisted Koeman would not be sacked regardless of any result to Atletico.

He told Mundo Deportivo: "Ronald Koeman will continue to be Barça manager. He deserves trust. When the injured players return, we will have more of a margin.

"Koeman is a Culer and a reference point for Barcelona, I've spoken with him and I drew my conclusions.

"I really appreciate that he decided to coach the club at a time of maximum institutional and sporting difficulty. He could have had his moments of discouragement, but he has come to his senses and now that the injured are coming back he deserves that trust.

"We talked, it's not true that we have a cold relationship. It's a good and a sincere relationship.

"He's a good person and I think he thinks the same of me. We are all trying to make it better."
