Luis Suarez's superb second goal in the first leg of Barcelona's quarter-final tie against Paris Saint-Germain has been named the UEFA Champions League Goal of the Week, presented by Nissan.
The Uruguay forward is playing in the knockout stages of Europe’s top competition for the first time but has taken to the big games in style.
After scoring twice in the away leg of Barca's second-round matchup with Manchester City, he repeated the feat in France to ensure Luis Enrique's team held a significant advantage ahead of the home leg at Camp Nou.
Suarez nutmegged PSG defender David Luiz twice before beating Salvatore Sirigu, first weaving his way into the box from the right and later on powering through the middle of the pitch before curling a brilliant shot into the top corner.
The latter effort has been named the best goal of the quarter-finals, and was Suarez's sixth in seven Champions League games.
If he can repeat the feat when Barcelona face Bayern Munich in the last four, the Catalans are likely to be even closer to claiming a fifth title.
