Lee WalkerNov 8, 2014

After last week's shock loss to Celta Vigo, Barcelona were trailing 1-0 at Almeria in La Liga on Saturday.

The pressure was growing on Barca boss Luis Enrique, but a double substitution inspired a recovery from his side.

Neymar and Luis Suarez came off the bench at half-time, and the Brazilian superstar levelled 17 minutes from time.
