It is a sad day for the treble winners. Despite winning against Las Palmas an injury to talisman Lionel Messi ensures the mood of those related to the club will be down.
He suffered the knee injury in early in the first half when he the Argentine sort to open the scoring for his side. After a sublime first touch sent him clear, a last-ditch tackle from Pedro Bigas kept the Argentine's attempt out.
However that tackle also saw the four time Balon d'or winner sustain an injury to his knee. However a double from Uruguay striker Luis Suarez saw the team bounce back from their heavy mid week loss at Celta.
The home side took the lead when Suarez headed home a cross from Sergi Roberto. Despite the away side looking dangerous a number of times through former Barcelona B striker Sergio Araujo.
Barca's second goal came through the same man who got the first as the former Liverpool striker took advantage of some good work from Munir after a dummy by Sergio Busquets.
Despite several attempts they were unable to get the third goal as Neymar who was denied by the goal keeper several times blasted a penalty over the crossbar.
The away side were however able to pull one back through Jonathan Viera's deflected effort.
Despite a late pressure Barca held firm to ensure they gave a good response to Wednesday's 4-1 hammering at Celta Vigo.
