Barcelona qualify for the finals of the Copa del Rey, as they beat Real Madrid 3-0 in the second leg of the semi-final at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Barcelona suffered difficulties in the first half, but Suarez scored twice in the second half, and forced Varane to make an own goal.
The LaLiga defending champions are currently at the top in the LaLiga table, seven points clear of their closest rivals Atletico Madrid. They will play Madrid in the league next before facing Girona for the Supercopa de Catalunya final on March 6.
Speaking to media, Barcelona head coach, Ernesto Valverde, admitted there is room for improvement despite 3-0 win.
“They performed better in the first half, we lacked the intention of attacking and failed to play football.” We lost the ball in the threatened area, which may make us lose a ball. I have to admit that this is not a perfect game for us.” Valverde said.
“Today we scored three goals, but there were not many opportunities. But sometimes the situation is exactly the opposite. Football sometimes has a bit of randomness. In the Champions League match against Lyon, we have 25 shots but no goals; At the time people said that we were in crisis.
“My plan is to attack from the very beginning, create a lot of opportunities, enter a lot of balls, this is the truth. After that, some people will say that the coach who won the game is better than the coach who lost the game, but this It’s ridiculous.” Valverde added.

Speaking of the national derby on Saturday, Valverde said: “Saturday is as important as before. We must improve ourselves on Saturday to win, because the league is the event that we all want to win.”
Valverde had specific praise for Suarez for the part he played in the victory. But Lionel Meesi failed to score for his team.
“Suares is a striker who is always present. He is very aggressive and ambitious, always pursuing goals, and he is deeply impressed.” Valverde said.
“In addition to Leo, we have other players to score. Suarez has good data in the history of Barcelona, Leo not only scored, but also created opportunities.
