Five things we learned from Barcelona’s draw with Valencia

There were less than two minutes on the clock when Barcelona went behind yet again. They’ve now gone five games in all competitions without keeping a clean sheet.

Thomas Vermaelen was a surprise inclusion ahead of Clement Lenglet for this one, but he couldn’t clear Dani Parejo’s corner, neither could Pique, and Ezequiel Garay was left completely free to put it away.

Pique’s form is a particular concern and raises the question of who should replace him when he needs a rest?

It could have been worse too if Goncalo Guedes hadn’t gone off injured after 12 minutes.
