Suarez nets twice against 10-man Atletico

Luis Suarez scored two second-half goals to lead Barcelona to a 2-1 comeback victory over 10-man Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday.

Fernando Torres opened the scoring in the 25th minute, but quickly went from hero to villain for Atletico when two reckless tackles saw him sent off in the 35th minute.

Atletico resisted the defending champion's push for an equaliser until Suarez finally levelled with an opportunistic goal in the 63rd minute.

Suarez then put Barcelona ahead nine minutes later when he played Dani Alves wide before heading the Brazil defender's cross past goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

The win comes three days after Real Madrid ended Barcelona's Spanish record 39-match unbeaten streak with a 2-1 win at Camp Nou.
