contribution in the wake of their 3-1 La Liga win over
Eibar at Camp Nou.
Luis Enrique has highlighted the importance of Luis Suarez for
Barcelona following the Uruguay international's man-of-the-
match performance in the 3-1 win over Eibar on Sunday.
Barcelona conceded an early opening goal, but Suarez then
guided the Catalans with a sublime hat-trick to take his tally for
the La Liga season to seven in eight appearances.
"We know the importance of Luis. What he gives you is
invaluable, non-negotiable," Luis Enrique said at a news
conference.
"If he then finishes in the area, that's great. He's essential and
irreplaceable."
Barcelona struggled to find their best form in the opening 45
minutes, but improved after the break.
"We tried to fix the problems we had in the first half. With a team
like Eibar, unbeaten away from home, it’s normal that we had
trouble to get going," Luis Enrique added.
"Fortunately, we won the game with intensity and effectiveness
in the final stretch.
"Going out there with three defenders isn't a problem as long as
we are successful, but it isn't an exact science. It's about
working hard and doing it better."
Barca are level on points with league leaders and rivals Real
Madrid, who are unbeaten.
