beat Bayer Leverkusen, even when they were 1-0 down
with 10 minutes remaining.
Barcelona's match-winner Luis Suarez insists he always knew
the three points were in the bag despite Bayer Leverkusen
leading 1-0 going into the final 10 minutes at Camp Nou.
The reigning champions were staring down the barrel of a home
Champions League loss following Kyriakos Papadopoulos' first-
half goal for the Bundesliga side.
But Barca fought back with two goals in as many minutes, Sergi
Roberto and Suarez sealing the victory in Group E.
"We believed in ourselves until the very end," Suarez told TV3.
"We're the champions and we didn't play good football, but we
had to win the game.
"We had to show we are the champions.
"They pressed us very high. The boss told us good things at the
break. It's important to be top of the group and that's the big
news of the night."
With Roma - who held Luis Enrique's men to a 1-1 opening-
game draw - losing 3-2 to BATE, Barca's win moved them top of
the group.
