Barcelona suffered an Old Trafford hangover as they followed their Europa League exit against Manchester United with a 1-0 defeat away at relegation threatened Almeria.
It was their chance to go 10 points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga but Almeria, who started the game in the bottom three, took the lead and kept it
Almeria were ahead on 24 minutes when Ely Rodrigo won a crunching tackle against Gavi and launched a long ball up the pitch to El Bilal Toure. He held the ball up well and laid it off to Luis Suarez.
