Barcelona weren’t at their best but held on to claim a vital three points after going down to 10 men against Valencia in a scrappy game.
Barcelona dominated from the off and made their possession count after just 15 minutes with Raphinha heading in a ball over the top from Sergio Busquets to give his side the lead.
They didn’t take their foot off the gas after that, pushing for more goals, but they were unable to double their lead thanks to some good saves from Giorgi Mamardashvii and some poor finishing on their part.
Valencia did have a few opportunities of their own with Thierry Correia…
