Barcelona extended their “impressive” winless streak to four games with a one-all draw against Valencia at Mestalla. Ezequiel Garay opened the scoring very early before Lionel Messi set the final score midway through the first half. Even with Barcelona dominating the ball, Valencia were the more dangerous team, but ultimately the two sides had to share the spoils.
Barcelona could not have started the game any worse, with Garay sending Valencia in front not even two minutes from kickoff. The hosts earned an early corner kick that was swung in and should’ve been cleared not by one Barcelona defender but two.
