PSG defender's mum defends him after criticism over Suarez nutmeg

David Luiz’s mother has come to the defence of her son after a barrage criticism on the Paris Saint-Germain defender defender  following his performance in the club's 3-1 UEFA Champions Leagueundefinedto Barcelona.

David Luiz was a substitute for injured captain, Thiago Silva and was twice nutmegged by Barcelona's Luis Suarez who scored on both occasions.

The Brazilian international has been a subject of mockery and intense criticism and his mother Regina Célia has come in support of her son.

Regina Celia posted a photo of her son and wrote: “I have a son and I always will! His head held high, with a ball at his feet. God knows everything! Jesus is fighting for us until this day and yet we still have people who judge! Who are we to judge you! I will always love you after the good games, and even more after those that don’t go well!”

Barcelona gave themselves a huge advantage of next week's quarter-final second leg at the Cam Nou with a 3-1 victory over French Champions.

After a first half opener by Neymar, Suarez added two in the second half before a PSG consolation  as Jeremy Mathieu diverted Van der Wiel's strike past Ter Stegen.
