However, the Catalan cast reacted quickly and turned the score around in that first half with goals from Jordi Alba, Pablo Gavira and Ronald Araujo, at 10, 21 and 43 minutes, respectively.
Just started the plugin, Daniel Alves -who was later expelled with a direct red card for an iron shot- widened the difference, at 4 minutes.
After 13 minutes, the Uruguayan Suárez discounted for the “Colchonero”, but it was not enough to get excited about a comeback.
Atlético Madrid had among its starters the Argentine Rodrigo De Paul, while his compatriot Ángel Correa entered in the second half.
With this result, Barcelona reached fourth place, with 38 points, far from the leader Real Madrid (50), but got into the qualifying zone for the Champions League, while the cast of the Spanish capital is fifth (36), in zone of Europe League.
Earlier, Valencia and Real Sociedad kicked off Sunday with a 0-0 draw at the Mestalla Stadium.
The twenty-third date of Spanish football will continue with two matches: Real Betis-Villarreal (2:30 p.m.) and Real Madrid-Granada (5:00 p.m.).
