By Iain Rogers MADRID, April 16 (Reuters) - Luis Suarez was still in disgrace after the World Cup biting incident when Barcelona paid 81 million euros to buy him from Liverpool last July and a slow start in Spain prompted many to question the wisdom of the deal. Nine months on and Suarez has silenced the doubters with a run of scoring in crucial games that has helped keep the Catalan giants firmly on course for a repeat of their 2009 treble of Champions League and Spanish league and Cup titles. The Uruguay forward scored both goals in Barca's 2-1 win at Manchester City in the last 16 of Europe's elite club competition in February and netted a superb winner in the La Liga 'Clasico' against Real Madrid last month. His brilliant double in the Champions League quarter-final first leg at Paris St Germain on Wednesday showcased his sublime skills and strength on the ball and the 28-year-old took his tally in the competition to six goals in six games this term.
