Barcelona are back in La Liga action on Sunday night as they take on Valencia in Catalonia.
Hansi Flick ‘s title hopefuls enter this bout off the back of a bonkers Champions League contest in Lisbon. Barca were 3-1 and 4-2 down to Benfica on Tuesday but remarkably stole the contest at the death thanks to a strike from Raphinha. Their place in the round of 16 is secure ahead of their final league phase clash with Atalanta.
However, they dropped more points in La Liga last week as Jose Bordalas’ Getafe once again proved more than a nuisance. They have fallen even further behind leaders Real Madrid despite thumping their Clasico rivals twice this season.
Valencia look vastly improved under new manager Carlos Corberan, who was appointed at the end of 2024. The historically grand club have been woefully run by Peter Lim, and the threat of relegation is real.
Sunday’s visitors are ensconced in the relegation zone, but their performances since Corberan took over point towards a resurgent outfit. They beat Real Sociedad 1-0 at Mestalla last week.
