Luis Suarez Labelled Indispensable, Latest Rumours — Barcelona Transfer News

Barcelona vs Eibar 2015 (en vivo live score results below) is nearing halftime of today's La Liga game.

Suarez equalized for the Catalans 12 minutes later after heading in a wonderfully executed volley from Sandro.

Mascherano, 31, was shown a straight red card in the win after directing insults towards one of referee Carlos del Cerro Grande's assistants.

Luis Enrique's side joined arch rivals Real - 3-1 winners at Celta Vigo on Saturday - on 21 points at the summit, while Eibar went away reflecting on their second league defeat of the season. "What he gives you is invaluable, non-negotiable", Luis Enrique said at a news conference.

"We found it hard to create danger from the start and that means we have to keep improving". I liked the support of the fans. He leaves the tricks to Neymar and Messi and concentrates on the goals - 35 in his first 57 matches is a very decent return. "To win with a clean sheet while the other group game ended in a draw puts us in a strong position". What followed was one success after another as first he became master of the assists and then king of the goals. "We tried to solve things at half-time", he added.

The Spanish and European champions were unable to register players in the last two windows due to a Federation Internationale de Football Association ban for breaking rules on the signing of minors and injuries to players including Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Rafinha have stretched the squad.

Barca dominated the possession for the rest of the half, but neither side could break the deadlock until just after the interval when Neymar drove into the penalty area before neatly picking out Suarez, who duly converted in clinical fashion from 15 yards. Luis Suarez reciprocated Neymar's achievement by dispatching 3 past Eibar this week.

However, their anxieties were quickly banished by Suarez, who took down another cross from Neymar with his chest and rifled into the bottom corner, scoring his second hat-trick as a Barca player. Luis Enrique has repeatedly praised his Argentinean genius in front of the media and, when questioned on his influence, made no secrets about the No.10's role as team leader, the central element that ensures his tactical mechanisms remain effective.
