Debutant Luis Suarez wasted no time in making his mark at Atletico Madrid as Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich suffered a day to forget.
Suarez came off the bench with 20 minutes remaining, and Atletico leading 3-0, to announce himself in style three days after his arrival from Barcelona with two goals in a 6-1 rout of Granada.
Diego Costa scored the only goal of the first half after nine minutes, with Saul Niguez’s seeing his 16th-minute penalty saved by Rui Silva for the hosts.

Angel Correa and Joao Felix netted before Suarez’s introduction, and he made an immediate impact by laying on for Marcos Llorente to add a fourth.
Suarez scored a fine header to open his account in the 85th minute and, while Jorge Molina grabbed a late consolation for Granada, the Uruguay striker slid home his second in stoppage time.
His former strike partner Lionel Messi was on target from the spot after 35 minutes as Barcelona raced into a 4-0 half-time lead over Villarreal at the Nou Camp.
Ansu Fati’s 15th- and 19th-minute goals got Barca off to the perfect start before Messi made no mistake from 12 yards after Fati had been fouled by Mario Gaspar.

Ermin Bicakcic headed the home side into a 16th-minute lead which was doubled within eight minutes by Munas Dabour.
Joshua Kimmich reduced the deficit from distance with 36 minutes gone as his side attempted to preserve an unbeaten Bundesliga run which stretched to 21 games before kick-off.

Roma’s hopes received a further boost when Adrien Rabiot was dismissed with 28 minutes remaining, only for the Portugal skipper to clinch a point with a 69th-minute equaliser.
Franck Kessie’s first-half stoppage-time penalty and Brahim Diaz’s second-half strike handed AC Milan a 2-0 win at Crotone, while Hirving Lozano’s brace helped Napoli to a 6-0 victory over Genoa.
