Barcelona came from behind to beat a resolute Inter Milan 2-1 at the Camp Nou on Wednesday night.

Inter Milan took the lead with just two minutes on the clock catching Barcelona out with a quick free kick which pinged off a couple of players before being slipped through to Lautaro Martinez.

The Argentine took his shot early and slotted it across Marc-André ter Stegen into the Barcelona net.

Inter Milan’s early lead saw them defend resolutely and picked their moments to counter-attack, playing it out from the back in the process.

With Barcelona’s impressive champions league home record standing, it was only a matter of time for the five-time European champions to turn things around kind courtesy two splendid finishes from Luis Suarez.

His first goal was a sensational volley that went past Handanovic after receiving a cross from second half substitute Arturo Vidal. Suarez helped himself to a second in the 84th minute.

Lionel Messi unsettled the Inter defence as he rushed towards them, crossing to the Uruguayan who found himself in space.

His sublime first touch wrong-footed Diego Godin and Suarez tucked it away with his second touch to seal the victory.
