Luis Suarez scored his debut goal for Barcelona on Tuesday since moving from Liverpool last summer - but insisted he wasn't anxious about scoring prior to the time.
The 27-year-old served a four-month ban for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup and returned to action at the end of October.
Since completing Barcelona's fearsome attack - which includes Lionel Messi and Neymar, Suarez has made four assists in four appearances in La Liga without finding the net himself.
With the staggering transfer fee, any prolific striker would have been anxious to find the net, but the Uruguayan said he had been relaxed about waiting for his first goal for the club.
"I wasn't anxious about scoring, I knew the moment would come," he told reporters after the match in Nicosia.
"Up to now, I was helping the team in the best possible way," he added. "The important thing is to get the results and that is what we are doing."
Suarez was the most prolific striker in the Barclay's Premier League last season.
