With a thumping 4-1 win over Valencia CF at Mestalla, FC Barcelona got an important victory to keep themselves in the top four of La Liga. It came at what is traditionally one of the toughest grounds in Spain, at a crucial time as the Catalans hope to finish high enough to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season.
In addition, it prevented them from going a full year without scoring at least four goals away from home. It was March 2021 when Barcelona last scored four or more - in that case, six actually - in a 6-1 thrashing of Real Sociedad at the Anoeta Stadium.
