Luis Suarez: We're relaxed... now they need to attack us
Luis Suarez says Barcelona will be 'relaxed' in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid.
The striker, who netted two goals to win the Blaugrana the first leg after Fernando Torres opened the scoring, spoke on Spanish television after the game.
"The return will be a similar game to today’s," he said. “But we are relaxed as we they will be obliged to [attack to] win the game. If we score one, they will have to score two."
Suarez admitted this was a tricky game but Torres' first-half red card led to Barcelona gaining a big advantage. He said: "Obviously a sending off in the first will affect the game, even more when it’s a great player. Everyone knows his quality, but he made two heavy fouls. It was a pity - I would have liked to come back with 11."
Of his goals, he added: “We knew there would be not much space, and I needed to stay close to the area to convert what I could. I had the luck to score twice, but that’s why I am here, to help the team.
"It was a difficult game from the start, knowing the strategy of Atletico. We could have scored another goal. The important thing is we won and they will need to score a goal there [in Madrid]."
