La Liga 2017/18: Atletico Madrid 1-1 Barcelona; 5 talking points

#1. Do we really need to talk about Luis?

Luis Suarez made sure Barcelona didn't walk away from the game without a point

Luis Suarez looked much better today than he had all season and that is a very reassuring sign for La Blaugrana. He combined well with Messi in the final third and was determined, on most occasions, to get his shot away.

He got a couple of efforts on goal and one was blockedGodin and the other was brilliantly saved by Oblak. But special players produce special moments and Suarez's goal in the 81st minute was one such instance.

Sergi Roberto's excellent floated ball found Luis Suarez at the edge of the 6-yard box and he slotted it past Oblak with ease. On a day when Messi could not work his magic, Barcelona wanted someone to step up and deliver the goods, and there he was.

Sure, the Uruguayan hitman is not at his lethal best and is not a wholesome threat all by himself but he sure looks like he'll sort his feet out and start tormenting defences like we know he can.

So, everyone needs to just calm down and maybe let him off the hook for a bit.
