A solitary goal of Raphinha marked the difference in the marker so that the Barcelona go back to add of to three points in the classification and certify the leadership of LaLiga Santander in solitary a day more.

It has been a quite suffered party, because the Barcelona did not have a lot tarpaulin and 'prejudiced' to himself same. However, it is a step importantísimo for a Barça that came of two parties in which it had not showed his identity and accumulated doubts. In spite of the difficulties, knew to impose although Valencia, in a situation more than complicated, wanted incomodar to Ter Stegen and company. The culés go back to win, convince and certify like leaders of League, 'surviving' to the gale of drops in the staff, with until five absences in the party of this Sunday.

Xavi, in the terracings, bet by a XI of circumstances and the picture 'ché' jumped to the field with the clearest ideas, trying live in contrary field. The Barça was uncomfortable, without understanding between lines, but once surpassed the first minutes the command was so evident until the point that, happened the chamber of hour, a goal of head of Raphinha after a pass magistral of Sergio Busquets, that allowed to the Brazilian break and go in only to the area to surpass to Mamardashvili, opened the marker in favour of the venues.

The goal gave tranquility and confidence to a Barça that looked for, immediately, increase the advantage but did not succeed. Raphinha Was the one who more agitated to the team and generated danger, but with less tarpaulin that in his first occasion. First madó a finish, with a lot of curve, that left was and afterwards sent a good centre for Ferran in the second stick, but the guardameta 'ché' trapped with problems the spherical. It seemed an authentic monologue, although the ones of Voro also incomodaron and had his opportunities to put to work to Ter Stegen.

And it is that the Barça went back to leave eases and Valencia knew them read, but not taking advantage of... A bad delivery of Ferran Torres caused a bad pass of Ter Stegen, that yielded to Samu Lino for his finish, but left too high. Afterwards it was a diaparo, very forced, of Ilaix Moriba inside the area after a confined of Vázquez by his left. Justo before the rest, Thierry commanded a centre that blocked with difficulties Busquets. A closing of the first part complicated for the culés.

Penalti Failed, red...

In the resumption, the Barcelona went out launched to look for a new goal and could achieve it very soon, through a penalti after a hand in the area of Guillamón. Ferran Torres had the opportunity to do cost the law of the ex, but his shot from the eleven metres went directly to the left stick. In the following played, Ansu Fati could put the 2-0 with a finish inside the area, but this time was the another stick that 'punished' to the Barça.

It was the second life for Valencia, but had a lot of difficulties to generate clear occasions, although they finish benefited by the expulsion of Ronald Araújo, by red direct, to the hour of party: The charrúa, last man, demolished to Hugo Hard when it went in direction to the goal of Ter Stegen. In spite of having a player less, the Barça did not go to rack and ruin and continued 'launched' to the attack, but without ideas very clear.

With the happen of the minutes and in the last 15' of the crash, Valencia took advantage of to advance lines and live in contrary field, but was not able to finish to the arch of Ter Stegen, the one who although it had to clear a few balloons, did not see direct participation.
