We deserved to win

Sergio Ramos scored the equaliser in the 90th minute.

The 24-year-old later conceded that he was wrong to have responded to taunts he says he heard coming from the stands.

"I don't know if the result is fair or not, but it's what it is", he said. "It's something that should not be done".

The Spain worldwide popped up in the final minute of normal time to cancel out Luis Suarez's earlier opener at Camp Nou, keeping intact his side's six-point lead at the top of La Liga. "In games like this he never drops his hands, keeps lifting his teammates and at the end he was there".

Even though Barcelona played better for stretches, its lack of finishing doomed it to another slip at home, where it has just three wins in seven league games this campaign. It was not until the second half that the tie was broken.

Casemiro did not start from the beginning and he entered in the last 30 minutes: " When Casemiro entered on the pitch we were more offensive because Kovacic and Modric.

"What we have to highlight is the heart of this team".

"It is a huge blow for all of us but we have only played 14 games in the league and there is a long way to go". This is a long-run thing and we have to work hard until the end.

FC Barcelona manager Luis Enrique has asserted that his team deserved to win and blamed the players for wasting chances following the draw against arch-rivals Real Madrid at the Nou Camp Stadium here.

But Real's captain isn't getting too carried away in La Liga. Barca though, need a win to help forget about their Clasico disappointment and to try and end the sequence of draws which has seen their last three games in all competitions finish by the same 1-1 scoreline. It's a point, we keep picking them up, and in the first half we had chances to hurt them.

"We have to improve, especially at home", Luis Enrique said.

"We closed the space between the lines, went ahead from a set-piece, we had the ball, tried to score the second and nearly didn't even give away a chance against an opponent of that quality".

"We are losing more points than usual at home", Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said. "With the quality and the world-class players we have, if we play as a team, giving everything out on the pitch, we are very hard to beat".

"We have kept the gap in the table", Ramos said.
