Final score Barca 5 Valencia 1
With Real Madrid 13 points clear of Barcelona in the table last night’s win over Valencia takes Barca within 10 points of the leaders Real but with the way the league is that ten points this far into the season will be a bridge too far for the Catalans.
Both of these teams Barca, and Valencia know each other well especially after the matches played in the round of the Copa del Rey in which the club tied at 1 in the field and beat Valencia in the return match by 2 goals to 0.
It was certainly a very fluid open game to watch with Barca dominating in the second half Xavi controlled the game beautifully, and Leo Messi found his scoring boots putting four goals in the net.
When in this kind of form no one team in the world can beat Barcelona, who now have their eyes set on Champions league tie with Leverkusen, and with a 3-1 win after the first leg in Germany, Barca are expected to move on to the next round.
