With just 12 minutes on the clock, Lionel Messi pinged a cross to the back post that Suarez headed towards goal.

It took a slight deflection off Shaw and beat David De Gea in the United goal.

But as Suarez wheeled away to celebrate, he only saw the linesman’s flag raised in the air.

He protested profusely and was roundly jeered by delighted United fans in the home end.

But the former Liverpool man had a friend in VAR that would see him get one over the home crowd.

The goal was correctly given much to Suarez’s delight.

Things got even worse for Shaw a few minutes later when he was shown a yellow card.

That will mean he will miss the second leg in the Nou Camp.

Ashley Young is the other player riding the tightrope on a booking too.
