The £50m man was tortured by Luis Suarez in the first-leg of PSG's Champions League quarter-final tie when he was nutmegged not once but twice as the former Liverpool player scored a brace in a 3-1 win for Barcelona. The former Chelsea defender was quite rightly vilified for his performance in Paris.
So when PSG lined up at the Nou Camp for the second-leg, the Brazilian was probably hoping for an easier night of it.
But just 13 minutes into the contest, Luiz could only look on as Barcelona striker Neymar trumped him for pace before rounding Salvatore Sirigu and slotting home to put Barcelona into a commanding 4-1 lead on aggregate.
