Real Madrid lead the standings with 40 points Photograph: Óscar del Pozo/AFPIt was not enough to lift Espanyol off the bottom of the table, but boy, did it lift them. Then it looked like they would lose when two wonderful moments from Luis Suárez early in the second half put Barcelona ahead once more. Yet while they dominated, they did little with it and on 22 minutes Espanyol finally found a way out from deep and with it found a way to goal. And finally, Barcelona wasted a four-man break that ended with Antoine Griezmann and Messi unable to provide the finish. It might have been more as the game opened up, but Diego López saved from Suárez after Messi’s fantastic run.
