Suarez opened the goal scoring at the 16th minute and exactly 14 minutes later at the 30th minute scored another goal in a well planned Barca attack that the Man city defence could not hold.At the dying minutes of the first half City tried to pull one back but Barca kept pulling a counter forcing City's defense to fall back.
