Luis Suarez marked off a dream debut for Atletico Madrid with two goals and an assist despite only coming on in the 70th minute.
If his debut is anything to go by, Luis Suarez is going to have quite a career at Atletico Madrid.
The Uruguayan forward only joined Atletico Madrid in a €6m deal last Friday and has already made an early impression.
Suarez made his competitive debut for Los Rojiblancis in their 6-1 win over Granada at the Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday afternoon.
Diego Simeone’s side were already 3-1 up when the Uruguayan made an appearance off the bench in the 70th minute.
It took him just a couple of minutes to have an effect on the game, playing a pass through for Marcos Llorente to score Atletico’s fourth goal.
Later in the match, Suarez won a penalty for himself but it was canceled after a VAR review.
Regardless, Suarez didn’t have to wait long for his first Atletico goal, guiding a header past Rui Silva in goal from Llorente’s cross.
In the final minute of stoppage time, the former Barcelona forward netted his second, reaching the rebound from his first shot before any of the defenders to finish past Silva again.
Suarez becomes the first Atletico Madrid debutant to score twice – and the first to score and assist on his La Liga debut for the club this century.
