Iniesta in FC barcelona vs ValenciaFC Barcelona would be looking to increase pressure on Real Madrid following their Champions League exit by winning their encounter against Valencia on Sunday Night. I don't expect Real to drop any points at Valladoid in a match that follows ours, as they will react surely as wounded tigers. Recent performance from Barca has been disappointing and until there is a significant change in attitude from players , there could be more disappointment on Sunday night. Valencia would be a very tough opponent especially considering that they have done better away from home this season. Valencia is lying at third position, 15 points adrift of both Real Madrid and Barcalona. Valencia has struggled in recent past traveling to their main rivals to the league and that should give enough encouragement for Barca Players. It was against Valencia Barca Dropped First Point of the Season. At this moment Barca will be missing the service of their coach Pep Guardiola and striker Ibrahmovic for this match. I am not sure how much we will miss the latter in this match,considering that after Ibra's sending off Barca really played well against Almeria. Barca was handed over a good news as Keita has been given the green by the medical staffs.

Guardiola was considered as a man who could do nothing wrong at Barca, atleast that was the case last season. He took charge of a struggling Barca side and took them to an unprecedented successful season winning six trophies, or to put it better all the trophies available.But like the saying goes - "Every Good Thing has to End", Guardiola's problems are mounting day by day at Barca. It is quite extra-ordinary to claim that Barca is in crisis just because Real Madrid managed to upstage us from the top for the time being. But those who are watching Barca day in, day out knows very clearly that they are not playing anywhere near their capacity. Johan Cryuff points this in his recent article saiying that certain players are not putting enough efforts in the side, We all know whom he is referring to.
