Valencia 1-1 FC Barcelona: Held at Mestalla - FC Barcelona
Under normal circumstances, a draw at Mestalla would generally be viewed as a decent result. But these are not normal circumstances. In recent years, Valencia have not been the force they usually are, while given the widened gap between Barça and the top pair in la Liga, anything other than three points from this fixture could only be regarded as a disappointment.
Xavi demands more - FC Barcelona
FC Barcelona really needed all three points from their trip to Valencia and Xavi Hernández was far from happy with a third consecutive failure to win.
