A familiar name in the headlines, but an unfamiliar face!
A Luis Suarez double condemned PSG to a 1-2 defeat in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon registered a shocking 2-1 win over holders PSG in the encounter between the sides at the Estádio José Alvalade, as Suarez struck either side of a goal from Kvicha Kvaratskhelia to give his side a huge win.
Lisbon went ahead thanks to Suarez in the 74th minute of the game, before Luis Enrique’s men pulled back on level terms just five minutes later through their star Georgian Kvaratskhelia.
Suarez, however, came up clutch yet again as he headed the ball into the back of the net in the final knocking of the game to give Rui Borges a famous win against the defending champions.
