Barcelona striker Luis Suarez admits yellow card against Sevilla was a ‘good thing’ ahead of El Clasico

The Catalans’ hitman will miss Barca’s home match against Malaga after picking up his fifth booking, but will be available to play Real Madrid

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has admitted his yellow card late in the La Liga clash against Sevilla on Sunday was a ‘good thing’.

Suarez will now miss the home fixture against Malaga after the international break after collecting his fifth booking of the campaign.

But, crucially, he will almost certainly be available to face Real Madrid, unless he is dismissed in the preceding game at Real Sociedad.

Suarez picked up the innocuous caution in the 88th minute for dissent towards referee Jaime Latre.

“The yellow card was actually a good thing,” Suarez told Canal Plus.

“I start with a clean slate again ahead of games away against Real Sociedad and versus Real Madrid.”

Suarez netted the winner for Barca after Lionel Messi had cancelled out Vitolo’s opener for the hosts.
