There are reports over the break that Barcelona hope to complete deals for Erling Haaland, Paul Pogba and Dani Olmo next summer. How they will do that, that remains to be seen.

70'

It will be interesting to see what business Barcelona do in the January transfer window. Will they be looking to bring any players into the club or will it be about moving more players on?

What’s more, Valencia have failed to win 13 of their last 14 away matches in La Liga. Bordalas’ side have been much stronger in front of their own supporters at Mestalla.

67'

However, while Barcelona’s recent form has been very poor, they are unbeaten in 36 of their last 40 home matches played at the Camp Nou in La Liga. This isn’t an easy place to visit.

66'

This is a real opportunity for Valencia to take something off Barcelona at the Camp Nou. They are a team in transition at the moment and there’s no reason why they can’t claim a point or more.

65'

Foulquier enters the book for a late tackle on Gavi.

Ansu can be pleased with how he played for the hour he was on the pitch. The teenager is such an important figure for Barcelona and they need him for some big matches next week.

Ansu comes off on the hour mark and Coutinho is on in his place.

De Jong is such an important player for Barcelona. Koeman has put the Dutch international at the heart of his team. Everything Barca does well tends to flow through de Jong in the middle.

Big save! Guedes unleashes a powerful drive from the edge of the Barcelona box, but ter Stegen makes the solid save! The German goalkeeper need to have strong wrists there!

56'

55'

That was a warning sign for Barcelona. They have played well since falling behind, but Valencia certainly have the quality to score a second. Barca have to be very careful.

54'

Off the post! Inches away from being an equaliser for Valencia! Soler controlled the pass on the edge of the box, got the ball out of his feet quickly, but could only strike the far post!

53'

Ansu is denied! The ball is played from right to left with Ansu taking aim at the near post, but Cillessen makes the save. That was going to squeeze in at the near post! Good stop!

Nonetheless, there is a sense that Bordalas has got Valencia pointed in the right direction again after the dismal Javi Gracia era. There is still a lot of quality players at the club.

49'

Those defeats were excusable, but Valencia then followed that up with draws against Athletic Club and Cadiz. Those were games that Bordalas would have expected to win.
