Pedri, Dembélé, and Robert Lewandowski, Barça’s standout trio, are still sidelined due to thigh problems. Today, Gavi is also missing. He has received enough yellow cards to warrant a one-match suspension. The return of Andreas Christensen!

Valencia has been forced to defend against Barcelona’s assault without club captain José Gayà, who sprained his ankle against Getafe. Regrettably, there are still absences on the squad roster after Gayà. The injured players are Jaume Doménech (knee), Marcos de Sousa (ankle), Edinson Cavani (thigh), Nico González (foot), and Gabriel Paulista (leg).

Despite being reduced to 10 men for the final 30 minutes, Raphinha’s first-half header was enough to give LaLiga leaders Barcelona a slender victory over struggling Valencia on Sunday. Even though they frequently appeared to be the weaker team at Camp Nou, Barcelona, who had just suffered a discouraging loss to mediocre Almeria the previous weekend, managed to collect three fought-for points.

With 62 points, they are 10 points ahead of Real Madrid in second place, who play at Betis later on Sunday. Valencia is in bottom place with 23 points after winning only one of their previous 10 league games. Raphinha, who had a few early opportunities before tipping a header over the goalkeeper in the 15th minute following a fantastic long pass by midfielder Sergio Busquets.

Raphinha and Ansu Fati had chances to widen Barca’s lead, but Valencia rebounded from the early setback to take control of play and had many good chances to draw the score thanks to missed attempts from Thierry Correia, Samuel Lino, and Ilaix Moriba.

Hugo Guillamon’s handball inside the box in the 55th minute cost Barcelona a wonderful chance to double their advantage after Valencia came back from the interval in control. When Ferran Torres missed the goal with his penalty attempt, it was wasted.

Nevertheless, five minutes later, they lost defender Ronald Araujo to a straight red card for a last-man tackle on Hugo Duro, and Barcelona found it difficult to maintain their lead in the final 30 minutes. In the 85th minute, Valencia players protested ineffectively over what they believed to be a clear foul committed by Franck Kessie on Fran Perez inside the penalty area. Fran Perez, Jesus Vazquez, and Yunus Musah all had excellent opportunities to equalise.
