Lionel Messi netted a brace, including a game-winning conversion from the penalty spot in the 94th minute, as Barcelona narrowly escaped Mestalla Stadium with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Valencia in La Liga on Saturday.
Luis Suarez also scored for Barca, who moved atop the league table for the time being with 19 points from nine matches. All of the other clubs occupying the top of the standings hold a match in hand, however, meaning their lead may not last long.
Meanwhile, Los Che put together a strong performance that could have resulted in three points on another day with a different referee.
