Luis Suarez couldn’t break his goalless streak in Champions League away games, but wrongly claimed a foul against Lyon.

Barcelona were held to a goalless draw by Lyon in the first leg of the round-of-16 clash in the Champions League.

The French side held the fort as they denied Barcelona an opportunity to score throughout the game.

Luis Suarez’s goalless streak in away games in the tournament continued last night. The former Liverpool striker has not scored in an away Champions League game since 2015. Throughout this period, he has played in 16 away matches.

The striker was also involved in a rather embarrassing incident during the game. He went down and claimed a foul after being hit by a ball.

Here’s the video:

 

Luis Suarez is yet to open his goalscoring account in the Champions League this season. He has scored only four goals in his last 25 games in the tournament.

This is how Twitter reacted to Suarez’s performance:
