Suarez scored twice in the first half as Valencia won 2-1 at Camp Nou, putting the hosts firmly in control of their La Liga campaign. However, Messi was unable to provide a goal to help Barcelona claim all three points, as they were held to a 1-1 draw. Despite this result, Real Madrid are still two points ahead of Barcelona in the table with 14 games played. Suarez admitted that it is almost impossible to catch up with Real in the La Liga table: “We are still in contention for the title but we know that it will be very hard. They have a lot of quality and they are playing well at the moment.”
