Luis Suarez expecting Barcelona to "suffer"

Suarez expecting Barcelona to "suffer"

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez fully expects his team to "suffer" at some point during their La Liga clash with Granada on Saturday afternoon.

The Catalan outfit will enter this weekend's match knowing that three points would secure a 24th La Liga crown and hold off pressure from Real Madrid, who have won their last 11 in the league.

Any slip from Barcelona would allow Real Madrid to snatch the title, but Suarez is confident that his team have the 'mental strength' to get over the line.

"We have to be mentally very strong [against Granada], but we depend on ourselves. We'll have 93 or 94 minutes to win the game. At some point we'll suffer, but it's normal and more so for the away team," Suarez told reporters.

"The pride of every player is sacrificing themselves for their shirt. [Granada] want to win in front of their fans and we want to win for the league. It's impossible to have more ambition than us."

Suarez will enter Saturday's match having scored 11 times in his last four La Liga matches.
