A 90-minute free-kick goal from substitute, Lionel Messi and an injury time power strike from Suarez saved the league leaders from a humiliating defeat at Villarreal on Tuesday night.
Villarreal looked to have breathed life back into LaLiga’s title race after they came from 2-0 down to lead 4-2, but substitute Messi, who had been rested and Suarez remarkably secured a share of the spoils to keep Barca eight points ahead of Atletico Madrid ahead of their meeting on Saturday.
A thrilling first half saw Barca race into a 2-0 lead against the run of play, with Philippe Coutinho and Malcom finding the net, but Samuel Chukwueze deservedly got Villarreal back in the contest after a rapid counter and a Marc-Andre ter Stegen error allowed Karl Toko Ekambi to level just after the break.
