Beaten on the last day by Atlético de Madrid (2-0), FC Barcelona had to react to Valencia this Sunday at Camp Nou. After a delicate start, the Catalans ended up stepping up and overthrowing Valencia, who had yet opened the scoring on a nice strike from José Gaya at the entrance to the area (5th). As so often since the start of the season, Ronald Koeman was able to count on Memphis Depay to sound the revolt.
The Dutchman, decisive passer on the (sublime) equalizer of Ansu Fati (13th), gave the advantage to his team by converting a penalty shortly before half-time (42nd). Even if the former Parisian Gonçalo Guedes did not come far from equalizing on several occasions (53rd, 57th), Philippe Coutinho ended up sealing Barça’s victory at the end of the match (3-1, 85th). In the standings, the teammates of Kun Agüero, who played his first minutes in an official match this season, are in 7th place.
