FORMIDABLE ATTACK

Barcelona, and their formidable attack, look to be in ominous form before a crucial run of games over the next two weeks, including their Champions League semi-final tie against German champions Bayern Munich.

They are also through to next month's King's Cup final against Athletic Bilbao and thus have a chance of repeating 2009's historic treble of Champions League and Spanish league and Cup titles under current Bayern coach Pep Guardiola.

"The team is 100 percent committed, the fans, everyone," Suarez told Spanish television.

"We have an obligation to achieve great things and we are facing the most important phase of the season," added the 28-year-old, who joined Barca from Liverpool in July.

Bilbao missed a chance to climb above Malaga into seventh when they let slip a one-goal lead and were held to a 1-1 draw at home to 10-man Real Sociedad in the Basque derby.

Sociedad, who are 12th, had defender Mikel Gonzalez sent off when he conceded a penalty five minutes after halftime for a foul on Bilbao forward Aritz Aduriz.

Aduriz scored with the spot kick but Sociedad fullback Alberto De La Bella levelled with a powerful long-range strike into the top corner on the hour.

Bottom side Cordoba are on the brink of relegation after they were beaten 1-0 at fellow strugglers Levante. They are 11 points adrift of the safety zone with four games remaining.
