UEFA Champions League: FC Barcelona 2-1 Bayer Leverkusen: Match Review

It was a tough first home Champions League game for Barcelona as the Catalans struggled to overcome a resilient Bayer Leverkusen side. Kyriakos Papadopoulos opened the scoring in the first half, but a late game quick-fire double by Sergi Roberto and Luis Suarez secured Barça their first win of the European season.

Luis Enrique sent out on the pitch his arguably best available eleven players.
