MADRID,(APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Augst,2016) - Luis Suarez insisted the Spanish Super Cup is not Barcelona's yet after helping his team shoot down Sevilla 2-0 to give them a comfortable lead after Sunday's first leg of the final. The Uruguayan opened the scoring early in the second half, making amends for two earlier misses, before Munir El Haddadi sealed the win when he ran on to a Lionel Messi through-ball and fired home. Having been beaten 4-0 by Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of last year's final, Barcelona were determined to improve on that showing, setting themselves up nicely for the return at Camp Nou on August 17.
"This is not decided," Suarez told Spanish television after the game. "In the second half we played very well.
It's important to win away from home against an opponent as good as Sevilla." He was not impressed with some of the home supporters who shouted insults at him from the stands at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan. Suarez added: "They can keep talking, I'm going to do my thing, which is to play football.
It's not a problem, we are the protagonists, not them." Luis Enrique was thrilled with the performance, which puts his team halfway towards the first trophy of the season.
