Barcelona striker Luis Suarez says they cannot afford to underestimate Real Madrid.

Suarez insists Real are still strong without Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of the El Clasico.

"We all know what kind of player Cristiano Ronaldo is, but a team is always above any single player," he explained in an interview with Barcelona's official media channel.

"They have other great players who can make the difference.

"We have to play our game without thinking about which players our opponents have."
