It was far from comfortable for Barcelona at the Estadio de Vallecas, but Luis Suarez helped the Catalans to a 3-2 win over Rayo Vallecano as they completed a late comeback to steal the points.
Suarez bagged his eighth and ninth goals of the LaLiga Santander season and, with Barcelona having had to battle from behind to win, the Uruguayan admitted that there have been some overconfidence.
"It may be that there was an excess of confidence," Suarez said after the game.
"We also have to give credit to the opponent, who are in need of points.
"The important thing was that we turned it around and got the three points, now we have to self-evaluate."
Suarez bagged a hat-trick in last week's 5-1 Clasico demolition of Real Madrid and, despite netting another two tonight, he played down the importance of his goals.
"You try to help the team to win points," he said.
"It was just one of those nights when it worked out and I scored the goals to help the team."
Next up for Suarez and Barcelona is the midweek trip to take on Inter in the Champions League.

that' is what make a striker of your caliber more different and outstanding. I think you're doing very well and you're proving to the world that even at 31 ,you're still Luis Suarez. play like this when Messi finally returned and you will see that there will be treble at the end of the season.
