Luis Suarez pleased to resume 'MSN' front three

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez says that he "enjoyed" starting alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar for the first time this season in Tuesday's clash with Celtic.

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has revealed that he "enjoyed" starting alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar for the first time this season in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Celtic.

International commitments and injuries prevented MSN from featuring together in the opening weeks of the new campaign, but all three started and finished the Group C fixture with the Scottish champions.

Suarez scored twice in the 7-0 win at Camp Nou, while Messi hit a hat-trick and Neymar netted once in addition to providing four assists.

Barcelona entered Tuesday's European affair off the back of a shock 2-1 home defeat to Alaves at the weekend, but Suarez has insisted that his team 'are only human' and will not be able to win every match.

"There were many games in which we weren't together," Suarez told TV3. "There were the holidays and Neymar was at the Olympics, but now we have the chance of enjoying [our football] together again. We were starters and enjoyed helping the team to get our first three points in the Champions League.

"We're human beings. It's normal to have a bad day. We know the league is long and that we dropped three points we didn't expect [to drop], but now we know we must rely on ourselves because otherwise the league can make things difficult for us."

Barcelona sit fifth in La Liga ahead of Saturday's trip to newly-promoted Leganes.
