No team has ever won from a deficit of four or
more goals in the competition, but the Uruguayan
attacker believes his side have what it takes
Luis Suarez believes it is possible for Barcelona to
overcome the 4-0 deficit from the first leg of their
Champions League tie against Paris Saint-
Germain when the sides meet for the return game
on Wednesday.
'Luis Enrique suggested he'd leave in September'
An Angel Di Maria double and goals from Julian
Draxler and Edinson Cavani saw the Ligue 1 side
take a huge advantage from the first game in
Paris.
No team has ever come back from a first-leg
deficit of four or more goals in the knockout round
of the competition, but Suarez believes it is
possible and that his side have the ability to do it.
"There is a dispute to settle. We will
do everything to show another image and show
people the real Barcelona," the 30-year-old told
France Football. "It will be difficult to reverse the
situation, but not impossible. If a team can
overcome such a score, it is Barca.

"We have the qualities and the character to get
out of this complicated situation."
Suarez is Barca's second top goalscorer in all
competitions this term with 27 goals, 11 behind
Lionel Messi, while he has amassed 12 assists.
The attacker is a key part of the 'MSN' trio, which
also includes Neymar, but he is happy to let the
other two take the glory, including the Ballon d'Or.

"Leo, Ney and I are the first defenders through our
pressing. We are there to try to recover balls and
to cut out attacks and protect our defense. We run
a lot with this idea in mind.
"I like playing with a low profile, being one
element among others. I'm here to lend a helping
hand to the team, but making decisions is not my
thing. Even if people find it hard to believe, I'm a
pretty shy person.
"All players dream of winning the Ballon d'Or. But
today, there is one player who deserves to win it
every year, and it is Leo. If there is another who
deserves to win it, it is Neymar. He has the
qualities to do it."
