Suarez sandwiched strikes around a 50th-minute Fedor Smolov equaliser to seemingly secure a critical win for the Catalans in the title race, but an Iago Aspas goal in the 88th minute spoiled the afternoon for Quique Setien's men.

The result gives Barca 69 points from 32 matches, one ahead of second-place Madrid who still have a game to play this round.
