5. Suarez and Messi have off days as Barca hand advantage to Real Madrid in title race
Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi have both been having a quite week now. While Suarez went missing in the Celta game last weekend, and Messi sacrificed himself in the PSG game – they both went missing today. Sure, Suarez grabbed the equaliser with a smart finish almost immediately after kick off in the second half, but he missed a gilt edged chance soon after. Messi, meanwhile, simply had a horrible day in office – arguably his worst ever game in La Liga.
