Luis Suarez has described the understanding that he has forged with Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi and Neymar as "spectacular".

When the Uruguayan arrived at the Camp Nou from Liverpool in the summer, questions were raised as to whether the trio could form a profitable relationship.

All three found the net as Barca recorded a 3-1 win over Atletico Madrid last night, which resulted in the striker telling reporters: "The truth is that my relationship with Messi and Neymar is spectacular.

"We get along really well, both on and off the field, and the same with the rest of our teammates."

The victory moved the Catalans to within a point of leaders Real Madrid.
