( CNN ) -- Cleared to take part in football-related activities last week by the highest sports court in the world , Luis Suarez was unveiled to Barcelona fans amid chants of `` Suarez , Suarez , Suarez '' on Monday . The talented -- and controversial -- forward took to the pitch at the Camp Nou alongside the rest of his teammates ahead of the Joan Gamper Trophy , an annual friendly that serves as Barcelona 's curtain raiser to the new season . This time , Barcelona faced Mexico 's Leon . After most of Barcelona 's regulars entered the pitch -- including Neymar -- its new signings were rolled out and that included Suarez , who joined from Liverpool for a reported fee of about $ 130 million in July . Later , four-time world player of the year Lionel Messi made his way onto the field as one of four club captains . Suarez did n't start the game , named on the subs ' bench , but he came on with about 15 minutes remaining in Barcelona 's 6-0 victory . By that time , Messi and Neymar departed . The Uruguayan was allowed to feature in the festivities by the Court of Arbitration for Sport , which partially overturned a ban given to Suarez by FIFA for biting Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup . It was the third time Suarez bit an opponent during a game , the other two coming when he lined up with clubs Liverpool and Ajax . While CAS upheld his four-month suspension from competitive action , it said he could embark on football-related duties , like playing in friendlies , training and getting involved in promotional activities . Suarez is expected to make his competitive debut against fiercest rival Real Madrid in late October . Barcelona is counting on the attacking triumvirate of Messi , Suarez and Neymar to reverse a poor , by its standards , 2013/2014 . The club lost the Kings Cup final to Real Madrid , fell in the Champions League quarterfinals to Atletico Madrid and finished second to Atletico in La Liga . Barcelona was also hit with a transfer ban over two transfer windows relating to the `` international transfer of minors , '' although the ban has been lifted while Barcelona appeals . Barcelona has since signed , besides Suarez , two goalkeepers as it seeks to replace Victor Valdes -- Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Claudio Bravo . Midfielder Ivan Rakitic and defenders Thomas Vermaelen and Jeremy Mathieu have also joined .
