Barcelona hold the advantage over Valencia after the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final at Camp Nou on Thursday. A single second-half goal from Luis Suarez was enough for the hosts to secure victory and they also kept a clean sheet which could prove vital at the second leg at Mestalla next Thursday.
FIRST HALF
Ernesto Valverde gave us a few surprises with his starting line-up as he left Philippe Coutinho on the bench and gave Aleix Vidal a start. But Barcelona began the game quickly and the first half pretty much became a case of attack against defence.
