Valencia were not particularly playing well, but they did take advantage of Barca's slow start going up 0-1. Barca played better in the second half, Don Andrés and Capt. Tarzan bringing the Catalans back. Xavi started off rusty, returning from injury, gave up the ball that lead to the Andalucian's goal. But he redeemed himself in the second half with two sublime assists. Villa had few great chances, but Cesar had the best of him this turn.
on a lighter note, Messi seemed to have been in a san siro state of mind.
