We knew the fans could be angry, but we're hurting, too. It seems like there's no merit to winning the league, now," he told beIN SPORTS."We've tried to confirm the great league season we're having after the blow of the other day. We were able to get the three points, which is the most important thing.  "It's one more step to completing the objective. It's a good lead and we have to think about the game on Tuesday [against Celta Vigo]."The most important thing was the 1-0, knowing the mood wasn't good, and we saw how it finished." Meanwhile, it was another productive match for Suarez against Valencia.The striker's goal Saturday was his 10th in all competitions against the club, which is more than he has scored against any club since joining the Catalans. Suarez's tally was set up by his old Liverpool team-mate Philippe Coutinho – the second time that has happened since Brazil international's move to Barcelona.  Interestingly, that equals the total number of assists Coutinho provided Suarez during their entire time together at Anfield.</blockquote>
