It was back to La Liga duty for Barcelona on Sunday, and coming off the back of a battling Copa del Rey win at Real Madrid, confidence would be expected to be high against Valencia.
Given that the blaugranes stumbled in their last league fixture against lowly Algeria, they couldn’t afford to take Los Che lightly.
An open and exciting game saw both sides passing the ball about well, and a beautifully stroked ball from Barca captain, Sergio Busquets, saw Raphinha fly high to power home the opener.
