Saul
Niguez's spectacular strike had given Atletico an early advantage.
However,
Barca's dominance for large spells paid off when Suarez finally got the better
of the outstanding Jan Oblak to level nine minutes from time.
"Everyone
knows Atletico defend very well and have a great goalkeeper, but we did enough
to believe we deserved more in the second half," said Suarez.
A
share of the points allows Real Madrid to move up to second, five points behind
Barca, as Cristiano Ronaldo struck an 85th-minute winner -- his first league
goal of the season -- to grind out a hard-fought 2-1 win for the European
champions at Getafe.
Atletico
move up to third but remain six points behind the leaders.
"It
was a great game between two teams with very different characteristics,"
said Atletico boss Diego Simeone.
