Having to travel to the Estadio de Mestalla, Barcelona faced immense difficulties against the home team Valencia; however, thanks to the timely brilliance of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, the Catalan club secured all three points.

In this match, Lionel Messi continued to be the driving force for Luis Enrique's team with a brace. Previously, with three goals scored against Manchester City in the Champions League earlier this week, El Pulga showed incredibly impressive form after returning from injury.

With two goals in this match, Messi has increased his total number of goals against Valencia to 19 in just 21 encounters. Statistics show that in the last 10 seasons, the Argentine striker has scored at least once against 'The Bats'.

Not to be outdone by Messi, Luis Suarez also achieved an impressive feat. The European Golden Boot winner scored 7 goals against Valencia, more than against any other team he has faced.

In this round, Valencia played incredibly well and even took the lead against Barcelona once, but thanks to the brilliance of Messi and Suarez, they had to settle for a disappointing defeat at home.
