Barcelona beat Valencia 4-2 on Monday night in a wild game at Montjuic that featured goals, big mistakes, a penalty, a red card and three points for Xavi’s side.
The Barca boss resisted calls to rotate his squad for this one and saw his team win in the first game since he had announced he’d be staying. They now sit second ahead of a trip to Girona at the weekend.

A mad start saw Barca take the lead, go behind after poor errors from Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Ronald Araujo, and then be handed a lifeline when Giorgi Mamardashvili saw red for another moment of madness.
