FC Barcelona beat Valencia 5-1 at the Camp Nou. Messi (x4) and Xavi scored the Barça goals.
Match Report:
After another sloppy start, FCB were down 0-1 after just 5 minutes due to poor defensive understanding between Pique, Valdes and Montoya.
From then on, Los Blaugranas reacted and came back in style, led by Iniesta in midfield and Messi upfront. Great attacking team performance, 64% possession and creating many chances.
Guardiola’s players were much more eager to win today, determined to show Real Madrid that, despite the 10 point difference, Los Blaugranas aren’t ready to give up on La Liga just yet.
A CONVINCING 5-1 VICTORY, THE SECOND HALF FELT LIKE THE GOOD OLD ‘MANITA’ TIMES!!!!!!
