Real close gap at top to one point
First three league goals Barca have conceded
Ronaldo has scored in 11 games in a row
Suarez assisted Neymar opener
Next up for Real Madrid are third-tier Cornella in the Copa del Rey, before Granada away in La Liga and Liverpool at home in the Champions League on 4 November.
Next for Barcelona is Celta Vigo at home on 1 November before they face Ajax away four days later.
Next for me is plateful of canteen chilli, followed by a cracking afternoon of Sunday football. See you there.
Luis Suarez has been doing a lot of talking recently.
Extracts from his new book appeared in the Guardian this morning , externaland there are some pearls in there.
"When I was a kid, I got sent off for headbutting a referee: I ran 50m to argue a decision, I was shown a red card and I headbutted him. I'm really not proud of that" is my favourite.

Image source, APThere blows the vote klaxon.
Our readers' vote is now shut and Cristiano Ronaldo takes home the man-of-the-match spoils with a very healthy 32.3% of the vote.
Isco (20%) and Dani Carvajal (12.7%) were closest to the nicking the award.
Neymar, the only Barcelona player on the list, attracted only 4.2% of your clicks.
After that win might Gareth Bale, who missed today through a thigh injury, find himself riding the pine on the Real Madrid bench?
Manager Carlo Ancelotti says not: "Bale is a fundamental player for this team. He will play whenever he is fit.
"Isco was amazing but in order to beat Barcelona every one had to play as well as they did.
"I'm satisfied with our work. I'm proud of everyone."
It was a classic six-pointer tonight. A Barcelona win and Luis Enrique's side would have been seven points clear of Real Madrid and possibly over the horizon.
As it is, their lead is down to one point. The return at the Nou Camp in on 22 March. Mark the diary.
Image source, APLuis Suarez did not have a single shot in his 69 minutes on the pitch. But don't take that stat too seriously.
He was straight up to speed, linking well with Neymar and Lionel Messi, getting an assist for Barcelona's goal and setting up another couple of chances.
Perhaps Luka Modric might get your vote as man of the match. The Croatia midfielder kept Real's Rolls Royce of a team purring and put himself about in defence as well.

You can vote for your man of the match on the right hand side of this very page. The poll closes at 19:30 BST and you can get across the small print over here.
European football writer Andy West will be dishing out some player ratings on this site shortly as well.
There will be no bottle of bubbly for the player who comes top of either, but the pride they will take in it?
Off the scale.

Yep, that is definitely conclusive. That one match after hundreds of goals scored between them and with plenty more meetings to come. Debate over. Finito.

"I love that Ronaldo is so desperate to receive every ball, to score every goal, to never be satisfied."
Matt Congreve:, external Real Madrid always turn up for the big games, a great team who are great to watch.

Real Madrid had less of the ball, were pretty much matches in terms of efforts on goal, but found a pretty stylish way to a comfortable win.
Done and dusted and the home celebrations are pretty low-key with the destination of the three points clear from a good quarter of an hour from time.
A bit of handbags between Cristiano Ronaldo and Dani Alves sees the Real Madrid man booked. Fair enough, his naughty little backheel kick at Alves kicked it all off.
Neymar wins a cheap free-kick giving Lionel Messi a free-kick to look at central and 35 yards out.
The Argentine cuffs his effort well over the wall and into a stand of jeering Madridistas.
Image source, AFP/GETTYDaniel Hudson:, external Real Madrid got an absolute bargain with Toni Kroos for £20 million. Worth twice that surely, great player.
It could be more comfortable for Real Madrid. Another counter attack almost unlocks the tiring Barcelona defence as we tick into three minutes of injury time.
