A late goal from Robert Lewandowski stole the show as Barcelona took all three points with minutes left on the clock in a game against Valencia that looked to end as a stalemate.
Although Barca had looked the better side throughout, both sides had chances, both sides lost key players to injury, both sides had goals disallowed and both sides had ultimately failed to score in a game that looked headed for a no-score draw.
Raphinha lofted the ball brilliantly into the danger area and it was Lewandowski’s outstretched leg that got there first.His thirteenth goal of the season and perhaps the most important of all. Instead of one point, Barca are coming home from Mestalla with three.
Xavi’s FC Barcelona were into the third minute of injury time when the Pole finally delivered the goods. A huge sigh of relief from Barca fans.
