Magical Lionel Messi Hat-trick Sinks Valencia; FC Barcelona - 3, Valencia - 0
FC Barcelona vs Valencia Highlights
A Magical Lionel Messi hat-trick secured all the points for FC Barcelona against a tough Valencia side at the Camp Nou. Lats visit of Valencia saw Thierry Henry bagging a hat-trick, but this time it was the "World Player Of The Year". It also send a strong signal to Wayne Rooney, a player who is on top of his game that Messi is not going to relish his throne. Valencia made life difficult for Barca especially in the first half, but a splendid performance in the second half sealed the match for us. The introduction of Henry in the second half and exceptional performance of Messi were the major factor which decided the game. Alves, Pique, Milito and Maxwell formed the defense infront of Valdes. Xavi, Busquets and Iniesta formed the midfield. Messi paired with Bojan and Pedro in atatck. For Valencia the major absentee was David Villa, who failed to recover from his injury.

FC Barcelona vs Valencia Preview, Time To Get Back On Track
FC 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.
